later in the episode. Controversies Skinner and Baddiel performed a sketch with toys, using a Mr. Potato Head to portray Nottingham Forest manager Frank Clark and a toy footballer with a (genuine) pineapple on top to portray Forest striker Jason Lee and his unusual hairstyle. This led to Lee suffering torrents of abuse from fans at actual matches, including chants like "He's got a pineapple, on his head, he's got a big pineapple, on his head!" (to the tune of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" by Laurie London). Some sketches also featured David Baddiel in blackface. In response to the racism, Lee said: "I'd ask them if they realised the significance of what they were doing. It was, looking back, a form of bullying. I work in equalities now, and it can affect different people in different ways. I don't think people appreciate the possible harm it can cause. Not everyone has the make-up to deal with that, and they shouldn't have to." Baddiel has since admitted that his portrayal of Lee was "part of a very bad racist tradition". In an interview with The Guardian in July 2022, Skinner said "When Dave walked out from makeup that night, I still don’t know why one or both of us or someone there didn’t say what the fuck is happening?", he also added "Looking back, it was a bullying campaign. And it’s awful. And yeah, I’m ashamed of it." Jimmy Greaves and Ian St John (Saint and Greavsie) made a rare appearance back together as guests on the show during Euro 2004. Although idolised by Skinner and Baddiel, St John admitted in his autobiography he had not enjoyed the experience. The two were likely to have been invited on as they were often parodied by Skinner (as Saint) and Baddiel (Greavsie) in the early series talking about the Endsleigh League (then the tier immediately below the Premiership) as if 'it's important' — a reference to the fact the ITV only had the rights to the Football League and not to either the Premiership (owned by Sky with highlights on the BBC) or the FA Cup (owned by the BBC and Sky) at the time. Brigitte Nielsen was a guest on the first episode of the 1998 series along with musician Jean-Michel Jarre but was under the influence of alcohol throughout most of the episode.
