Never Meet Your HeroesThey'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.

Tom Baker - HMV Oxford Street - Signing City of Death DVDNEVER MEET YOUR BOYFRIEND'S HERO AT HIS BEQUEST.
The "Tom's putting it in" legend is scary enough. Meeting the man proved even scarier for the girl in front of me...
... he immediately placed his incredibly large hand on hers and held her in place.
Tom Baker: Hello my dear.
Girl: Hello.
Tom Baker: And who should I sign this for?
Girl: Simon.
Tom Baker: Ah... yes... and how are you, Simon?
Girl: I'm not Simon.
Tom Baker: (Annoyed) You're not Simon?
Girl: No.
Tom Baker: (Angry) Where the hell is Simon?
Girl: (Terrified) He's at work. He couldn't get time off.
Tom Baker: My dear, I'd never have signed the fucking thing if I'd known you weren't Simon.
A long silence ensues... and then he beams that insane smile of his.
Tom Baker: I'm only joking, my dear!
He lets go of her hand, she grabs the DVD and legs it out of the store as fast as possible.
Now it's my turn. Get an autograph. Tom Baker is laughing his arse off at his own prank.
Tom Baker: Oh I do hope he loves her for this.
Tom Baker, The Man, The Myth... The Madman
