# the fellow
who puts things on his rabbits head.
(I helped save b3ta! monkeon schmonkeon, Tue 27 Nov 2001, 6:29, archived)
# ah yes.
we could do him.

and we want MORE ideas... Don't mind if they don't do web stuff.... i.e. Davros? Clive Sinclair? Bill Drummond?

I have no idea if I could get these people to talk - but it might be a laugh giving it a go.

What makes him tick?
(I helped save b3ta! mrbrong, Tue 27 Nov 2001, 6:38, archived)
# this is what we NEED TO KNOW
I met him once. He was wearing a lovely jumper.

# Was he

# Does he tick then?
I'll have a quarter please, John.

# I remember a fantastic Vic Reeves parody of John
"take it off.. its such a little thing...

Hello and welcome to Country File"
(you probably had to see it)

# That's not the one where they were
wallpapering a plough is it?

# I can't remember
he speaks like a dalek in it, I remember that much.
(I helped save b3ta! monkeon schmonkeon, Tue 27 Nov 2001, 6:58, archived)
# dunno that one.
I remember the gay daleks on Vicor Lewis Smith...TV Offal or whatever it was called.
(Nacho, Tue 27 Nov 2001, 7:05, archived)
# Hmm, did the gay daleks say
'White wee-wee!', 'white wee-wee!' a lot. If b3ta could interview them that would be good.

# dunno.
I've got it on video somewhere. It was the same episode as Victor L.S. trying to blame a fart on Steven Hawkin

# John Craven and his

Answers all those 'where can possibly go after Country File / a sandwich in front of Rob?" questions...

# on a similar note
Derek Griffifths is a very funny man. Did the tunes for 'bod' too.

# Ooh, ooh
How about Wilf Lunn?

I've got a book called 'Mad things to make from Vision On'.
It teaches you how to make all sorts of useless crud :)

# Yeessssss
Wilf Lunn

What was the name of the bloke who did "The Great Egg Race"?

# Prof Heinz Wolff
i reckon.
(I helped save b3ta! rob, Tue 27 Nov 2001, 6:58, archived)
# That is him.
He could build us something to be photoshopped. Or we could get him to build somthing practical that looked like somthing photoshopped. Or somthing like that.

# Just remembered Mr Barmy Art
He's one of the more odd people in Cambridge.

He ties things to his head and walks about with them:


I've personally seen him with a loaf of bread, a stuffed rabbit toy and a bunch of flowers tied on. He always seems to use a tie to do his tying as well.

Nicey & Wifey probably already know all about him, but for the rest of you, here is part of an interview
(I helped save b3ta! chthonic, Tue 27 Nov 2001, 6:47, archived)
# he's great
he IS b3ta.
(I helped save b3ta! rob, Tue 27 Nov 2001, 6:54, archived)
# I think I have
Seen him but I didn't think that anything unusual was going on, I must of not realised it was art. There are some fabulous shouting blokes in Cambridge who march up and down all day shouting random stuff into the door of the Coop at the checkout queue and so on. One the best things I have ever seen was Most Shouting bloke talking to No2 Shouting bloke on a street corner bloke perfectly normally. It was just like the bit in The Life of Brian with the Jailer and his assistant.

Ah hah could you interview Terry Gilliam. That would be like the most ultimate thing ever ever ever. Surely he is like a B3ta deity.

# My favourite shouting bloke
is the one who shouts at cars in the town centre.

He once shouted at someone who was using a hands-free kit for their mobile. He screamed 'Why are you talking to yourself' at them

# Mad Shouting blokes are ace
There should be a nationwide contest with points awarded for unintelligableness, attire, volume, and traffic disruption.

# And you really need
to try and get Dr Universe.
(If he can be arsed - he gets a lot of questions from young people, you know)
I would love to know what he gets up to in his spare time...



(I suspect the one on the right is the real dr universe)

# What about the
one in the middle?
(I helped save b3ta! chthonic, Tue 27 Nov 2001, 6:49, archived)
# there's a begger in Leeds
who tells you that he's not a vampire when you don't give money. You could interview him.
(I helped save b3ta! monkeon schmonkeon, Tue 27 Nov 2001, 6:56, archived)
# There was
An outstanding mad bloke in Norwich who had a donkey jacket and a pair of yellow marigold gloves. He used to stand the little strip in the middle of the dual carriage way directing traffic, in such a way as to prempt what it was going to do anyway thus making it appear like it was all obeying his will. He also had a broom with a broken handle to lend more gravitas. He should have some fairly sound views on stuff.

# My nominations for b3ta interviews...

The Leopard man (lives on a rock in the hebrides, has 98% body tattoo of leaopard skin, sharpened teeth etc.) - probably a bit difficult to do as he's a hermit as well.
Will Wheaton of Star Trek fame - He's an A-list celebrity love-god so this may be difficult too
That guy in the dog-collar who presented Fortean TV
Adam & Joe
Ian Bell

Father Lionel Fanthorpe. Now he is an interesting bod.
