Additional Details
Other Works:
(September 1996) Appeared on "TFI Friday" (1996) and performed various oddities, including the hilarious "Peter O'Toole reads lines that are quite clearly beneath him". He read lines from the Spice Girl's single "Wannabe" and when he finished, stating in a deadpan voice, that what he really really wanted was a "zig-a-zig ahhh" a staggered Ronald Fraser exclaimed "Do you really?!"
