Cocked That Right Up Didn't We

TV comedy is not solely restricted to sit-com or stand up performers. X Factor is wonderful viewing and never fails to capture the interest of the nation and at times can be very funny. Like the occasion when Welsh singing duo Total Eclipse, real names Fiona Rae Griffiths and Pam Edwards, turned up for the Cardiff audition. Their problems started before they even sang. When asked to which group they aspired, Pam answered 'That's a toughie innit ?' , Fiona adding 'Innit', Pam 'Eh?' and finally Fiona with 'Weren't expecting that question.' Eventually they settled for Abba. They then sang Summer Of 69 but ended it abruptly with Pam declaring 'Oh see! Cocked that right up didn't we' ? Fiona just laughed with Pam adding 'Oh never mind'. The clip shows the reaction of the judges, and notably Simon Cowell who suggested that Fiona reminded him of Vicky Pollard !! Cruel. But these girls took it in great spirit and actually found it in their hearts to laugh at themselves, an attribute so few of us can boast. The very end of the clip is just magic...........note the look of absolute dismay on Fiona's face.

The picture at the top shows the girls after a make-over on the following Monday's edition of ITV's This Morning. They were totally transformed and gave a creditable performance of Dobie Gray's Drift Away.

Thanks girls............a great piece of TV comedy.
