  • Classic stuff. Jilted John's alias on Zoo in about 1993 (AKA Graham Fellows). And look at the fresh-faced Woss before he became a Fawlty Towers botherer. Starts off with an aborted attempt at "Paul!" Never mind, John.

      John was being a bit general - not only did Joan pass the examinations, she became a CHARTERED Physio - she helped my brother get over a bout of wankers cramp, he is grateful to this day; it also gave him the confidence to apply for an audition for an Utterly Butterly commercial. So hats off to Joan

      @@AVFC1982 He’s fantastic isn’t he! I think it’s almost like an Alan Bennet soliloquy. It’s a little more gentle/subtle comedy than say Steve Coogan was with AP or Paul and Pauline Calf, but some of the stuff you hear on the radio shows are sublime!
