Funny you should mention it today as I've just noticed that Danny has a new TV show on the BT Sport channel. Has anyone watched it, and is it any good?
It features match predictions using a Tarot card reader from Acton, backed up by a pair of toasters used to predict the result of the following day's BT Sport live Premier League match.
The search is on for pastries and bread in the shape of footballers' heads and the programme features a large on-screen dog - brown and white, rather stiff and on this week's show wearing the Gareth Bale gold dollar sign necklace.
Show one was hit by a sensation. Baker's mother was discovered to be a West Ham fan. This trauma probably explains a lot.
If you enjoy Danny please join in. If not there is a door over ...........................................................................here

His 5Live show is only slightly sport related.
Yeah, I like his meanderings, but iI still find it quite footie-based, and I have no interest whatsoever in football.
I really just want his music and chat show back on the radio, which was fantastic, an eclectic mix of music that I adored, and a genuine feel-good factor. I loved the unashamed schmaltz in the lead up to Xmas, and I really struggle to find that seasonable build-up anywhere else, just for one example.
Yep. I think he's great.
C'mon though, gotta be brown sauce hasn't it?!
Are there any others who actually consider it a bit of a treat and prefer it when (as with this weekend) they don't have a guest in the 10 to 10.30 half-hour, and just keep taking calls instead?
Yes - the BBC London show was better when they stopped bothering with guests, Baker can take interviews in interesting directions but I prefer the calls (although again, I don't think the Five Live show attracts the same quality of call). Two hours of Danny just talking with Danny Kelly or David Kuo would suit me.
I think it depends who the guest is but, in general, I'd prefer it to be just Danny.
That said, I think the guests have improved a bit lately - there was a time when it was just Danny's heroes (e.g. Emerson, Lake and Palmer) and it all got a bit self-indulgent.
What were they thinking?
"vanilla, vanilla, vanilla, vanilla, vanilla, vanilla, vanilla, vanilla" etc.
Idiots. That was far and away the best show on radio.
The guest, Connor McGregor, an Irish fighter, said something (which I missed) and suddenly he was cut off and they had to find someone else to answer the questions.
It's been cut from i player, so I'm not sure what was said, although I guess he swore.
Anyone know?
Loved his show on radio 5 after football with Danny Kelly. Especially when they read out unusual footballers names so funny I was in tears.
I spent good money getting a bloke from the local classified ads to curse his future Cornish pasties so they'd all contain great big lumps of carrot after that.
I'd do it again for this Conor McGregor geezer.
Going by what the OC said in the following show he swore on air.
One last chance to see it tonight on BBC4!
