I'll have to track it down. <br /><br />Ed Balls does indeed have a bit of an otherworldly look about him, as does his wife, Yvette Balls (why does she insist on calling herself "Cooper"? A silly question perhaps?).He's nowhere near 8 or 9ft tall though.Durotriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427474698912082351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657878812884081988.post-81878249151175075952012-03-27T22:58:59.629+01:002012-03-27T22:58:59.629+01:00The episdoe you're looking for is called '...The episdoe you're looking for is called 'The Candidate'.

I haven’t seen that particular episode, but look forward to viewing it. ‘Frasier’, as you point out, was an extremely well-written US sitcom that stood out amongst its peers. I don’t normally ‘get’ American comedies, but ‘Frasier’ was an exception.<br /><br />Well, boy does Parkes play guitar? Probably not.

It's a cleverly written episode and worth looking for on YouTube.<br /><br />More importantly, I wonder if he considers himself a leper messiah?Cygnusnoreply@blogger.com
