November 3rd 2019 and Jimmy was on his Terribly Funny tour (pre-pandemic version 1). He posted out the image below, of Woolly, with the caption:
I’m at the Engine Shed in Lincoln this evening. This is High Bridge, the oldest bridge in the UK with buildings on it and the boat passage below it is called ‘The Glory Hole’. I imagine there’s been some very disappointed visitors here over the years.
For anyone that’s not seen the “Glory Hole” episode of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (February 10th 2017, S12 Ep5), this is also known as “the most unnecessary joke”.
The video is below and starts with Joe talking about some Russian dolls he’s had made and then, the classic Jimmy quip, is around 3 minutes, into the 4.
At time of typing this brief few seconds of the show has earned over 24m views. Love it when they make each other cry with laughing.
Note this is Woolly version 2 – you can see the Woolly reincarnations here.
