Hmmm maybe but... Cook first used it in 1976 on Derek and Clive (Live) and I think Barker may have already used it by then so maybe Cook stole it from Barker? (cries of "surely not!" "never!" etc) ETA: the quote -(circa 197?) Scene, Barker taking off a BBC newsreader, shoulders and face shot looking straight into the camera, very serious.... " And that was the news for our sighted viewers. We now continue with the news in Broille....." - pause, with puzzled look on his face, looks down at his hands floating over a big book "Sorry, I'll just feel that again!" __________________
