Many have mentioned the more than passing resemblance between the New Pope and Jim Bowen, I think this may just prove the point.  

Quote from: Jim BowenKeep out of the black and in to the red, nothing in this game for two in a bed.

Um... Who's this Jim Bowen person?

Just wondering.

Of course, you've never seen him.

Snowy beat me to it, but its typed now.

Jim Bowen is an old school comedian, family safe type humour, who is best know for being the presenter of a TV quiz show called Bullseye,

The quote above is one of his catch phrases he says in the quiz.

Here is a little vid of him, there does seem to be a resemblance.

I wonder if they will introduce one of Jim's catch phrases, You Have The Time It Takes For The Bible To Revolve To Decide If You want Absolution. 

That looks like it was a fun game show to watch.

In Bowens own words "It was crap, we set television back by 30 years".

It was a great watch though
