“I’m afraid Alexei couldn’t be here…”
by kronoc
Apparently, back in 1989, Alexei Sayle won an emmy for his television show “The Alexei Sayle Show”. Nothing unusual about that, since he is a very funny man. However it transpires that no one told him and he didn’t find out until he saw none other than Benny Hill on the news collecting the award on his behalf! You couldn’t make it up if you tried.
