Yes, I was John Thaw’s stunt double In Morse and Goodnight Mr Tom. Poor old John was a genius actor, but he couldn’t ever get the action of putting a record on his stereo so they used me for that. It used to rile him no end, on the Last Bus To Woodstock poor Peter Duffell our director needed fifty six takes before he gave up and used me as his stunt double.
John was fucking livid and he snapped four copies of The Requiem in D minor. Kevin Whately was pissing himself and this just riled John up even more and he smashed a bottle of cider and went for Kevin.

Heady days indeed.

1989. I was 14 and the news crews were at an illegal rave in Blackburn somewhere at about 6am as the Police were raiding it. Loads of people running everywhere and then the camera pans to me stood there watching it all wide eyed as fuck with a massive grin on my face, still dancing. It was on the national news that night and everyone I had ever met in my life managed to see it somehow. I was called into the headmasters office the next day where i gave a teenage heartfelt speech about Ecstasy and how we were going to change the world. The start of a rocky road with social services and raving that continued until I left school.

Social Media is the new root of all evil.

Three episodes of Fifteen-to-One in 2016, got to final in my last episode.

An appearance on 2002 Sports Pesonality of the Year Award on a montage to the Manchester Commonwealth Games. I was a spectator in the crowd and although I've never seen it myself, someone on here spotted it and pointed me out.

My school was filmed in an episode of Play for Today when I was about 11, I'm somewhere in a scene being shouted at for running down a corridor, which was a bit rum because they'd told us to do that.

Very briefly on MOTD in mid 80s as we were right at the front of the Street End and a goal celebratoon happened in front of us.

In the background of a local news report after the Olympic torch came through in 2012. Looking quite dissapointed as the guy carrying the torch was sprinting like he'd stolen it. None of the jogging along waving to the crowd that seemed yo hapen everywhere else.

Interviewed by Sky Racing at Lingfield a few months back. I haven't seen the result of that but we were few pints in so I probably wasn't as eloquent as I remember being.

TBH its massively long hours, hugely frustrating and extremely stressful, but we've just hosted a 247 boat World Champs and a 250 boat National Champs for a kids class, and both went superbly, so the sense of reward is great.... 1 week of 'rest' then we've got another National and World Champs, and all while continuing to support the British Olympic Team

I was in a film by Terence Davies that was on telly- The long day closes.
I was an extra, but for a brief moment I am the only person on screen as the camera goes through the door of the pub and we were singing I want to get you on a slow boat to china.
Oddly, filming was done at night, during the day I was a street sweeper doing London Embankment.

Represented Bury on ITV Sport Channel's finest, the nightly quiz 'Do I Not Know That?' hosted by Simon O'Brien. The studio audience was probably bigger than the audience watching at home. Please remember that hair gel was still very much in fashion in 2001 - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7zmo3w

North West Tonight loads of times when I worked there. I was once the voice of Kaka when City were after signing him.

Pointless, 2018.

Then when Bury hit the skids I was asked to do a lot. BBC Breakfast on the sofa, Channel Four News and the BT Sport documentary that I did the voiceover for - https://x.com/footballontnt/status/1367135176157917184

Got a load of shit for the latter from the anti-AFC brigade and binned social media as a result.

Got a bit of a lump in my throat watching the. Bury one with you being stood outside Gigg Lane. Although different circumstances it made me think the obvious.

Why did you get stick off Bury fans, nothing wrong with any of that?

I've been to watch Bury a few times in the last couple of seasons, seems a real bitterness from opposite fans towards them not helped by some of the knobheads that follow Bury (we all have them)
Was stood next to two battering each other either last season or the one before, think it was a fan and a Director or something?

Was that at Squires Gate? I got the stick for the same reason that Marcel, the director who was attacked there, did.

Essentially, Bury AFC was formed while Bury FC had not yet been dissolved or liquidated. Some argued that it was like cheating on your missus as she lay in a coma in intensive care and could yet wake up. Others were more pragmatic and said there was no way back and that football needed to be returned to the town as quickly as possible.

It caused a split that has still not fully healed and that turned violent on more than one occasion.

Marcel was a director of AFC and was attacked by someone on the other side of the divide. He's since resigned but was awarded the MBE for services to football in the last honours list.

I had a documentary made about me during the dock strike by some Italian yoof culture TV show. It was looking at the life of teenagers during financial hardship etc. I remember it vividly, I had no clue what they were saying as they spoke in Italian and then I had to respond in English, obviously to be dubbed later. I had in one scene to lie on my bed listening to music and then they asked what I was listening to and I prattled on about The Bunnymen and The Wedding Present saying why they were great and stuff. They panned out to my record collection and zoomed in on Ocean Rain.
Later on I had to do some keep ups in the garden and I talked about Everton etc. Ha ha I remember all the neighbours being in the street watching as there was loads of crew and stuff.
To this day, I've never seen it.

Been on loads of times at Everton games like most of us.

I was on Granada Reports too when it was filmed in our house.

I was on the start of Match of the Day for a whole year along with an Everton banner my mate had made.

I was in the background walking past the courts in Stockport where they were filming some cop show with John Simms in it.

Couple of quiz shows aimed at the pensioner population in the middle of the afternoon.

Pass the Buck with Eamon Holmes, finished in the top 3 in the first one so had to stay and finish a second show. One of the answers to a question was Viscount Linley to which I pronounced it VIS COUNT, what a tit. As bad as my "chipotle sauce" pronunciation this week that had a queue of complete strangers laughing at me when my boss corrected my pronunciation in front of them. Had voice notes off different people I work with all week saying CHIPOTLE in over Scouse accents.
Eamon was sound and we talked about football loads.

It's Not The Answer with Nadia Sawalha. Won a trip to Cork despite the options being Paris or Dublin. I said I didn't want to go to Paris because Houllier was French, I still cringe at the thought of saying that on the telly. Went for a few drinks with Nadia in the BBC bar afterwards and she was a right little flirt.

Got them on VHS somehwere and would like to get them digitalised.
