Doesn't provide any Spitting Image voices any more. Doesn't seem to be doing
many impressions nowadays, which is a shame.... there was an article about
him in 'Q' (UK magazine, self-styled 'modern guide to music and more')
a couple of years ago, with him talking about which famous people were
difficult/easy to impersonate and why. There was a photo of him in
mid-Kenneth Williams.

>(some kind of VR quiz show too)
Let it not be forgotten that CC started out as a poet who wrote poems with
titles like 'The man who owned the dog that f***ed the Royal Corgis'. He
appeared on a Radio 4 interviews-&-book-plugging programme called Loose Ends,
reporting weekly and developing his own brand of radio journalism, and his
career took off from there.

I think Danny John-Jules (hyphen possibly in the wrong place) has appeared
recently in a phenomenally successful West End musical called 'Five Guys
Named Moe'....
>David Lewellin (?) (Kryten) is some kind of sexual therapist type person, at least that was what he was billed as when he appeared on Radio 1 recently.
Robert Llewellyn has appeared in the Rory Bremner Show on BBC2 recently. I
think he may have been in 'Bottom' the other day too.
