I'm a dirty great big Five Nations fan
I've got Cheap Trick Live at the Budokan

It's good, but it's not the Talent Trek episode of Phoenix Nights.

Why can't they just let fat actors play fat leads? It's not as if the skinny ones struggle for roles.

Not been shown in the US yet I think. It was basically his James Bond audition.

Short clip here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/progra…

There was a show on BBC Radio last year around the time the Force Awakens was released where they interviewed bit part characters from the series and talked about them going to Cons and how the fans get obsessed with them. Then they dialled Erik in. He just took over the show - he sounded so full of life, that even…

I LOVE that film.

I think the Shado 2 mobile units were the same weren't they? The flip up missile launcher in the roof that fired one missile.

And he sounds like Cary Grant (the voice actor just used his party-piece Cary Grant impression for the role.) Just to confuse matters further, the voice cast credits included somebody called Cy Grant, who actually voiced Lieutenant Green.

My favourite toys as a kid were an Interceptor and a SHADO 2 Mobile unit from UFO.

Ah right - the later Moore films all kind of blur into one for me.

Polar Express? Now THEY were really creepy looking dudes.

Another great creation of Gerry and Sylvia (sadly recently deceased) was the live action UFO. Definite Cold War vibes with that one.

Are you thinking of From Russia With Love? I think from that point on the films focused on SPECTRE, even if the corresponding books involved SMERSH.

Rocky IV rivals When We Were Kings for best documentary about a boxing match.

That seems to be the general impression everybody has. Incidentally here he is gatecrashing a Half Man Half Biscuit concert to sing his riposte before joining the band for "Bastard Son…"

By far the most good-natured diss and counter-diss in musical history would have to be between Half Man Half Biscuit and Dean Friedman:

I know it's the film rather than the game, but any excuse to trot out my story about getting the DVD of Daddy Daycare for my daughter's 7th birthday, opening it up and finding Resident Evil 2 inside the case.

I knew there'd be a Cope song I'd missed.

There's another good interview here that goes into the non-musical reasons why he has taken a lot of shit over the years. Particularly his politics (or at least what were assumed to be his politics).
