Reg Prescott (DIY expert) writes: 'Hello viewers! I've just perfected the recipe for the ultimate funny TV show. First, take a pinch of Wilma Wacky , then a level cupful of Mrs Cheeky and stir in a 'boy of the old brigade'. Add this to the mixing bowl containing Marillion and blend firmly together until it begins to bubble. Adjust your - er - seasonings, add a splash of Mrs Mirth and, being careful not to burn yourself on the comedy oven, bake for 30 minutes and turn out on to the Lionel Blair rack. There you have it - your very own Cuddly Ken TV Show!' Join Reg, Banzai Davlo, the Bronte Sisters and Queen Victoria for another fab show!

It's the end of an era. The final curtain falls - cuddly Ken may currently be seen at a DHSS office near you. For, dear viewer, this is the last show in the series. Weep not - on display in tonight's mammoth spectacular are all your favourites - Verity Treacle, Baby, Maurice Mimer and the cast of Cobbers. Errol Brown drops in with a song. The audience float in space with Kenny. A few nuns do a few bits and Lionel Blair is still being tortured.
