You don’t have to be of a certain age to appreciate this but … well, let’s face it, you probably do.

It’s the late Gareth Hunt, of Upstairs Downstairs and New Avengers fame who was also of course a most familiar face from those Nescafe Gold adverts.

And these 73 seconds of outtakes have gone viral because it’s like a proto Toast of London, a very – very – funny watch.

I read he had a screaming hangover that day, which makes sense of his mood.
