Episode 2 of Season 2 and the boys are already hot on the trail of celebrities.

This week Martin and Patrick are overwhelmed to be interviewing one of this Countries (UK) Mega-Star's Mr Jimmy Tarbuck OBE (Tarby).

Jimmy's first television show was "It's Tarbuck " on ITV in 1964, though he had been introduced on Sunday Night at the London Palladium in October 1963 by Sir Bruce Forsyth. He then replaced Forsyth as the last original host of the show from 1965 until it was axed in 1967. He has also hosted numerous quiz shows, including Winner takes all, Full Swing and Tarby's Fame game. In the early 1970s he hosted a variety show called Tarbuck's Luck on the BBC.

In the 1980s, he hosted similar Sunday night variety shows, Live from Her Majesty's, Live from the Piccadilly and finally Live from the Palladium.

He appeared on the fourth series of BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing in but was forced to pull out due to high blood pressure, and needed surgery to fit 3 stents in his heart. In 2008, he returned to a variety format on television screens when he co-hosted, alongside Spice Girl's Emma Bunton an edition of ITV's variety show For One Night Only. He appeared on Piers Morgans Life Stories on 25 May 2012, while on 3 December that year he was invited to celebrate 100 years of the Royal Veriety Performance along with Bruce Forsyth, Ronnie Corbet and Des O'connor.

In February 2020, Jimmy revealed that, the day after his 80th birthday, he had been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer.

In 2022 Jimmy then 81-years-old was back in hospital having a cancerous mole removed from his back.
