Tony Wilson!

You are currently appearing on some advert on one of the 'other' freeview channels, coercing people to phone a premium phone line and sing onto a recording machine, in some vague attempt to discover the 'voice of the future' for some (at best) alternative X-Factor or (at worst) non-alternative X-Factor tv programme!

What was the name of that godawful rap group he was promoting earlier this year?

Isn't Malcolm McLaren involved in some dodgy x-factor type programme as well?

I hoped this would be about Tom Wilson of 'Bouncing Beats' fame. Manchester is so over. Get one life Tony.

It's hardly worse than appearing in a late night show with Terry Christian, the entire purpose of which seemed to be slag off "that London" and metamorphose, before your very eyes, into Alan Partridge in 'Toblerone Hell' mode

Hah, and John Robb turning up as well!

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 21 October 2005 11:43 (twenty years ago)

Yes, John Robb, possibly the most nervous and ill-at-ease man you will ever seen appear on television

Bring back "Remote Control"!!!

er... you remember? Remote Control? That quiz he chaired with Frank Sidebottom? It was great.

― harvey.w (harvey.w), Friday, 21 October 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

Oh what was that other quiz? "TarasShevenko", or Patchinko, or something...

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 21 October 2005 15:15 (twenty years ago)

Stepranko!

(oh, or was that the band?)

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 21 October 2005 15:16 (twenty years ago)

John Robb is probably the worst person in the world. Tony Wilson is great though, a silly local eccentric. Don't take him seriously, no one takes him seriously.

"They've got two kinds of factory there
One lives off old dying men
One lives of the back of a dead man
You know which factory...
You know which Factory I mean!"

Could have gone here but probably belongs here
