Very funny man and in parts a fitting tribute to the comedy legend, wasn't too sure about the hologram part, a little bit creepy. Smacked of ITV trying almost shock tactics to get viewers.

Did anyone watch the Les Dawson Tv special last night?

I didn't think the hologram was creepy at all, I felt it was a decent attempt at recreating his act, nothing of course could come close to the real thing but I don't think it was shock tactics. I think the technology behind it is a stunning achievement.

Probably looked great in the theatre, but very odd and unrealistic on television especially the last part.

Hugely unrelated and underused by television.
Not sure this was much of a tribute though and the holography effect doesn't really work on TV. It isn't designed for it.

If anyone's seen the live version of 'War of the Worlds' they'll be familiar with the sort of technology that brought LD back to life last night. I thought it slightly surreal. A bit like a computer game.

Only saw the start.....Perhaps the hologram worked better live, but it looked creepy and unreal on tv..also distracted from Les' jokes.

The hologram concept was terrible. Noticed the camera avoided any close up. The whole thing made me cringe.

In order to save money after we fugged up on the £120m windfall that CPFC got their filthy paws on instead, Bloom is looking to save the pennies by using holograms of Gustavo Poyet and Tanno at the Amex next season. A mixed selection of Poyet's back catalogue will be utilised, although his non appearance during BHA 0 CPFC 2 has been erased from the databank. Tanno's projection will not change throughout the 90 minutes, and will consist of him sitting on his arse in a black puffa jacket with his arms tightly folded across his chest, chin buried in aforementioned puffa jacket and an "I'd rather be in Italy" thought bubble hovering above his head.
