Apropos of the Zoopla crab adverts currently on our screens, EYE was prompted by a reader to track down the classic joke once told by David Niven on the Michael Parkinson Show.

It’s short, very funny, features a crab (as well as a prawn) – and proves unexpectedly topical. If you haven’t seen this before, or for some time, you won’t be able to see the Zoopla TV ads in quite the same light.

Enjoy!
