Never Meet Your Heroes
They're bound to disappoint - like the time we booked Wayne Hussey for the B3ta Radio Show. Five minutes before we're due to record, Wayne
phones, lost on the M25 with his Brazilian wife screaming in the background. Not so much the King of Goth, as a hen-pecked flake.

Before Little Britain, Spaced ...and whatever it is Sean Hughes does now
I saw Steve Coogan back in 1998, after the show my friend wanted to hang around and try to meet him. Simon Pegg was the warm up and he walked out first, I vaguely remembered him from a show he did called “Dan Doyle Space Person” and spoke to him about that, he said he was amazed I’d seen it and was very friendly. Soon Steve Coogan walked out and was actually very nice, he signed our tickets and then asked if we’d like some signed photo’s, top blokes!
Back in 1997 I met Matt Lucas and David Walliams when they were touring the Sir Bernard Chumley character, they not only invited us backstage but signed our tickets, gave us beer (Matt Lucas always offered a cigarette whenever he had one) and let us hang out with them for almost an hour, top blokes!
Then back in 94/95 I saw Sean Hughes, he basically let people queue up after the show and he’d sign whatever you gave him. He was rude, short and didn’t answer any questions he was asked, the fucker didn’t even smile at people. He might have been having a bad day but it’s simply not a good idea to be a twunt to the people that have just paid to see you, Wanker!
