Say it with us

Highly quotable.

I don't think it's going too far in these days of PC for me to call another man sexy.

He is a sexy young friend of mine.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Ted and Peter are calling a frame of snooker from their commentary booth, which is buried under takeaway food, when Chris Lester steps up to the table. Peter points out how tall and toned the young player is, and Ted agrees that it is fine to say so these days. Their praise grows more elaborate each time one of them tops the other, and both keep reassuring themselves that political correctness has no objection. By the end Ted is gushing about his sexy young friend while the match carries on beneath them, and the sketch is the first of three Chris Lester instalments in the episode.

    Then call it a ruddy food court. It just means you have to queue twice.

    Peter DeCoursey

    You've only missed the first three frames.

    Oh, and that's a bad miss.

    Peter DeCoursey

    And a chance now for Chris Lester as he strides towards the table. One of the taller players, as tall as he is toned. And I think it's all right to say that in this day and age.

    I agree, Peter. I don't think there's anything wrong with mentioning in passing that Chris Lester is very easy on the eye. At the end of the day, it's good for the game for a gifted young player such as Chris.

    Peter DeCoursey

    A gifted, young, tall, blonde player such as Chris.

    Ted Wilkes

    He is all those things. I don't think it's going too far in these days of PC for me to call another man sexy.

    Ted Wilkes

    And Chris Lester is that man. He is a friend of mine. He is a sexy young friend of mine. He is my sexy young friend.
