TV Comedy

I've been involved with more pilots than a long-haul cabin crew but I've only included things here that have actually made it to telly-land. Or its younger sibling, the Interweb.

Never Mind The Buzzcocks

I think I eventually did over 150 of these. I was Programme Consultant on the credits but what that meant in effect was that I greeted the hapless guests and tried to turn them into TV comedians in the four hours before they went on set. Not always very successfully. Contributed lots of ho-hum material along the way - indeed, in the early days worked on Mark's script - but my main gig was trying to stop drummers fainting with fear.

Comic Relief 1991

Recruited by Richard Curtis, I mainly worked on this with Jim Pullen. Jim, I miss you.

The Cornwell Estate

Actually a webcast, this was great to work on: starred Phil Cornwell, Daisy Haggard, Tony Gardner, Cyril Nri, all the good people.
