4 rupert knutt from bearwood: Re question from Peter Wild of Stockport. 'Slither' was the catchphrase of Roy Jay. I also wondered where he went as he was quite popular in Seaside Special type shows in the 80s. I saw him perform in a dodgy bar in Benidorm a few years ago - a shadow of his former self.
3 Peter Wild from Stockport: I'm looking for the name of that guy - the comedian who used to say "Slither" - he was definitely on The Comedians but I do not know his name . . . Can anybody help?!?
