There’s a busker who plays Moonlight Shadow outside Stretford Mall in Manchester sometimes. Every time I go past I seem to catch him playing it and I’m always fighting myself to not do the Dave Angel walk as I go past him 😂😂
simon day has gotta be the most under rated comedian on the fast show, dave angel (as seen) and billy bleach were top characters and still proper cracks me up today watching it, the gezzer is a legend. . . . WAAALLOP. . . WAAALLOP. . . WAA. .AL. . LOP. ! CLASS...
It was actually based on regional magazine programme hosted by Mike Reid but only broadcast in the London area. Apparently, in the show he championed a lot of enviromental issues which seemed strangely out of place with his "cockney geezer" persona- that's what the scenarion of Dave Angel was based on. And Mike Reid's wife was actually called Shirley!
you bang on gezzer all of them were top draw class comedy actors and that is what made the fast show so good. in my opinion simon day was right up there with whitehouse and higson when it came to writing and comedy acting.
Brilliant! Love Dave Angel. Shirley always ruins Dave's message. Love the one with the Tree Huggers where hes protesting against a road being built through a Wood. But when one of the touches Dave he says "take your hands of me you freak" feckin hilarious.
haha no way?! that's awesome, i knew it was some kind of rise on frank butcher but didn't realize it was a carbon of Mike Reid himself! Thanks for the info andy!

'WALLOP.....WALLOP'!!!!!!!!!! I can never hear Moonlight Shadow without chuckling to myself!!!!!!!!!!
Tears of laughter watching this again after so many years. The 90s really was the very peak decade of British comedy.
It was good.
Delabole railways
Got to love that cockney walk 😂.
It's now 2020 and all these years later I always think of Dave Angel when I hear 'Moonlight Shadow' on the radio.
Whoever picked _Moonlight Shadow_ is a god damned genuis.

It's good but it's not great like jazz club Nice.

Some of the best comedy from the period . . Brilliant 😆😆😆😆
