Tony Hawks, of "Round Ireland with a Fridge", "Playing The Moldovans At Tennis" and "Making a Cup Of Tea For Everone in Belgium*" fame has a similar name to the famous skateboardist. This causes confusion for thick kids who continually write to him asking how to do ollies and kick flips, so he replies to them. For example:
"Dear Tony
U r teh uber seckzorz
U r sew good at skating
I rally just wan be lyke u
How much do u make in a centurysz?
from lil
Oh dear. And it started so well too. 'Dear Tony'. Splendid opening. Just kind of went downhill from there, didn't it?"
and
"hey tony!
I like tony hawks underground.I skate myself and i must say i cannot ollie.How is it done?Cheers for reading.

Samuel,
I like the way you finish your mail. 'Cheers for Reading'. At last someone else who appreciates this much maligned town. Reading is a wonderful place with an excellent one way system, efficient libraries, and a number of fine grass verges. On top of that, it is well-served by the M4 motorway, so it has easy access to places which are much, much nicer.
Goodbye
TH"

I've been racking my brains trying to remember.

it was a (tv review?) show from the 90's. We watched the first five minutes of it, and there was a bit, with a sound on there that I said would work well as a sample. I can't remember the name of the show.

there was a segment close to the beginning of it. They used a sound which was ripe for a sample.
