Do you know what I mean by that?
Radio 4, for instance, that is the liminal space that is occupied between the transition from being working class, lower middle class, to middle class.
Radio 4, I swear to God, is that lynchpin.
And that did not exist in our world.
Radio 4 did not exist in our house.
I did, and I got involved in the Footlights right towards the end of my time.
So I was almost sort of an honorary member, really, because it was like the last two months.
Yeah, she didn't lie.
I really was like, when I discovered the theatre there, which is the ADC, and I discovered that Ian McKellen had gone there and Emma Thompson and Derek Jacobi, I wanted to, the plays I was doing, I was doing devised theatre with Russian folk tales and bits of old newspaper and stuff like that and Shakespeare and Marlowe, that's what I was really into.
But I kept doing the stupid, silly stuff
And then because I thought the Footlightsy stuff wasn't really for me, but then I kind of met people my age who were more into the same sort of stuff as me that was like American comedy and American stand-ups and American sitcoms and stuff like that.
And like weirder stuff like The Mighty Boosh and Vic and Bob and all that sort of stuff.
and shooting stars.
Like, Pierre introduced me to shooting stars and the Mighty Boosh in our, like, literally in our, like, first week of knowing each other.
We would just, like, sit in Pierre's room in his college just watching videos on YouTube and all that stuff.
He loves the goons.
Our big claim to fame for him was our producer of Daphne, mine and Phil and Jason's sketch show, jumping a bit in time here, was Matt Strong, a wonderful producer and lovely guy, and his grandad was Eric Sykes.
Goon-adjacent Eric Sykes.
And he does look a lot like Matt, so it was really funny.
Pierre would show me the goons, and I'd never heard the goons before.
