In one episode, the character had his own talk show, featuring 96:, and many other odd places. As well as the opening scenes, Cleese played the Announcer character in a number of sketches including "The Time on BBC 1" in episode 19 which examines the Announcer's confidence problems and "Take your pick" in episode 20 in which the Announcer pontificates about "Bergsonian comedy". 161:
