The Benny Cash Show aired 15/11/09

A First on the Benny Cash Show; the very first guest was none other than ex-Watercolours front man/doppelgänger for Robert Pattinson, Wyndham O'Clock. Arriving in the glamour of a hi-jacked parcel force delivery van he added a new element to the show. He began by discussing his preference for pretentious herbal teas before disclosing his recreational heroin habit. There was Chemistry from the get go. O'Clock described the chemistry as animosity. To put it into context, I would describe it as Brown resenting Blair for never being no. 1. Almost a spiteful love-hate with constant attempts to 1-up and undermine the other.



You can see the sparks flying as the opposition is squared up. After the heroin remark I was speechless. What ensued was a competition to dumbfound the other, a task I successfully met by enquiring after the ailments that followed the disastrous career of seminal 90's group Watercolours.


Not only did the show have the first guest, but also its first - and second caller. Thank you to Irene and Steve for the compliments and wise song requests.

The show marked the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall as well as the 20th anniversary of Aardman creations Wallace and Gromit. Due to the dates coinciding, I set out to find out the link that forged these two events in the same annal of history.

Due to popular request another cash-rap followed the triumphs of last weeks performance. Datis made sure it was caught on camera so the event faulted 3 times before a successful rendition - professional appearance of the show thus dashed on the rocks.

Regrettably, I will be ending the Time out show this coming thursday as I am overstretched. The Sunday Benny Cash Show will otherwise suffer and that would be truly awful.
