He's an ardent socialist/trade unionist. Good to see him remember his original values.

I think Fish is right. It was several months ago.

He use to live at the bottom of my street in his Royle Family days I met him 2 weeks ago and he still remembered me and I had my photo took with him and so did my son...he has always been so down to earth since I've known him one day I would be watching him on the tv and then the next I would see him in the Post Office down the road and he would always say "hiya kid" love the bloke

Well done to him. That's made me smile, restores your faith in people who are better of than the rest of us.

Mike Bassett is one of my favourite comedies. When he does the Kipling bit . . hilarious.

Good man. And
