Diablo: He was the lead singer of Dexys Midnight Runners (Come On Eileen, Jackie Wilson Says, Geno... Too-Rye-Ay... No?).
OK, that one clearly didn't work. How about this...
I say, I say, I say... I keep getting confused: Is it Keith Harris & Orford, or Trevor Harris and Orville... Or is it Trevor Orpe & Michelle Orford...? Or is it Cannon & Pace? I can never remember, but I'm pretty sure I need a break from the tables...

Loving your work Flut.
Is that Keith Harris' body? If so, by some miracle he chanced upon an unusually groovy look for that particular photo-shoot- and the upshot is that it makes Trev look like a super-cool 70s TV cop.
I, on the other hand, look like a total tool. Thanks for that.

Thanks Richard, yes, that is Keith Harris' groovy torso.
I hadn't twigged the 70's cop theme but now that you mention it, the germ of an idea is growing... You're obviously well connected in media circles, so the next time you're playing Snooker at The Groucho, how about pitching this to one of the executives:
The programme could be called 'Husky & Starch'. You'd be the (admittedly stereotypical), feathered green maverick cop, with a broken marriage; a drinking problem and a load of demons in your past (Mum wasn't there when you hatched... That kind of thing), and Trev could play Starch; a cop whose wardrobe changed when he was listening to a Bowie song whilst patrolling the rounds in his soft-top Bedford Rascal.
I really do think it could be the vehicle to best showcase your talents, and it could really catapult you onto the next rung of stardom. I don't think you look like a total tool either... It would have been far worse if I'd grafted the orange beak on to you.
Anyway, think about that pitch, and remember: 60/40 profit share, and I get all royalties from the toys and merchandise...

Can I suggest that my character had a fling once with a go-go dancer called Cuddles The Monkey? And there should be an episode at some point that fills in the backstory on why I'm still wearing a nappy in my late thirties. After all, we don't want to stretch the character's credibility, which otherwise is perfectly sound.
Get that sorted, call it 95/5 on the profit share and you've got yourself a deal.
PS- You should offer your services to write a blog next month, I think you'd be excellent at it.
Wait a moment - Richard Bacon is not Richard Orford?
Wow! I can tell you - honestly - that until a fortnight agho, I really did think they were the same person.
When I first joined Sky Poker, back in 2006, & they told me I might work with a "proper" TV Presenter called Richard Orford, I had never heard of him. (I don't watch telly).
So I googled him, & it seems I must have found Richard Bacon by mistake, & until the week before last, I knew no different. So I did look at him in a sort of, err, weird way, if you get my drift.
I'd like to apologise to Richard for that terrible misunderstanding. I really am sorry, Mr Bacon.

Have you ever wondered why you never see Kevin Rowland and Mark Banin in the same room together? Me neither...
