On a recent episode of the talk show “Friday Night With Jonathan Ross,” comedian Alan Davies shared an amusing anecdote that had the audience in stitches. As he joined Jonathan Ross on stage, Alan was introduced as one of the funniest men in Britain, and he certainly lived up to that reputation with his hilarious story.
The conversation began with Jonathan congratulating Alan on his rumored role as the new Doctor Who. Alan quickly dismissed the rumors, explaining that it was just “paper talk.” He even joked about a mock-up image of himself as the Doctor, which had been published in a newspaper. Alan made it clear that he had not been approached for the role, but he did express his admiration for the show.
The conversation then shifted to Alan’s appearance on another show, “Jonathan Creek,” where he had worked with Mary Tamm, who played his incredibly beautiful sidekick. The duo also worked with K-9, the iconic robot dog from the Doctor Who universe. Alan humorously pointed out that K-9 had some limitations, as he couldn’t navigate stairs. They joked about the importance of developing “stair capability” for the robot dog.
As the conversation continued, Alan mentioned his encounter with rapper 50 Cent, who was also a guest on the show. Alan revealed that upon seeing 50 Cent‘s famous “G-Unit” tattoo, he initially thought it stood for something else entirely. This lighthearted moment added to the comedic energy of the interview.
While the interview was filled with laughs and banter, Alan took a moment to express his respect for Russell T. Davies, the writer of Doctor Who, and his admiration for the show. Despite not being cast as the Doctor, Alan jokingly offered his services if they couldn’t find anyone else.
The conversation then shifted to Alan’s new show, “QI,” which airs on BBC Two. Alan discussed his role on the show and his efforts to make the guests look good. He also mentioned the possibility of writing an episode for “Jonathan Creek” in the future.
Towards the end of the interview, Alan discussed his thoughts on going back to stand-up comedy. While Jonathan playfully suggested that Alan might be afraid of returning to the stage, Alan assured him that he wasn’t scared but simply lacked jokes and inspiration at the moment.
The conversation concluded with a discussion about David Blaine‘s recent stunt, where he was seen suspended in a box. Alan shared his comical theory that Blaine must be surviving on thin fruit roll-ups or some other hidden source of sustenance.
Overall, Alan Davies‘ appearance on “Friday Night With Jonathan Ross” was filled with laughter and hilarious moments. From his denial of the Doctor Who rumors to his amusing misunderstanding of 50 Cent‘s tattoo, Alan kept the audience entertained with his witty remarks and storytelling abilities. Viewers and fans of the show can look forward to many more episodes with equally entertaining guests and discussions.
