Did Michael Grade get the coconut? What was your relationship like with him?

We've known each other since we were teenagers.
I don't think he got the coconut.

Wrong address now, of course! He's running ITV.

They could do with a hit like Ent USA.

And watching it again after all these years, I think you can see why it was a hit.

I did read your thoughts about Michael Palin's shows recently. Great television, but you were doing it twenty years before. Before ET USA we'd had Alan Whicker, that was it! ET USA appealed to all age groups. I also recall you guesting on Saturday Night At The Mill in a bout 1982, and reporting how ET The Extra terrestrial (Spielberg's latest blockbuster) had taken the US by storm. It was all we had back then (no internet) and I believe you revolutionised television. Before ET USA we'd only ever had straight laced Englishmen in dinner jackets reporting from elsewhere in the world.

Just shows that the real people out there have fond memories of that series.
Well done JK,I missed most of them the first time round,so do enjoy them now

I'm loving the nostalgia. Keep 'em comin', JK!

Incidentally, I wonder if they still make that pineapple wine. Wouldn't have minded trying that.
