Did you know neil morrissey had a double life??

I'll let him know next time I see him then.

You'll be pleased to know that he's had none of my licence fee, no sir! :mad: :cool:

dunno. i can only think of one enders where they actually went (as opposed to not being in albert square and sending a postcard), they only went to 'france' which could have been the kent countryside.

I'd have been disappointed with anything else.

It was kind of Eastenders filmed on the El Dorado set :cool:

to get back on track that neil morrisey thing was weird.
i almost believed it until the camel race.

it was the point where they picked him up in the desert 3days later that had us wondering. actually it was before that when he ran from the jeep to the tiny little plant. that was odd.
 
Spoof TV?

anyone remember the tv films about
(1) Dale Winton's secret wedding to Nell McAndrew;
or the one about
(2) Michael Aspell's dozens of secret love children, including Scarey Spice...?

wasn't Neil Morrisey a juvenile delinquent who spent time doing hard time?

Do not confuse with Stephen Fry who did time for theft.

Of course, he COULD be all of those things. Dear old Lenny Henry, aged 48, was doing a degree in English Literature, so why not?

Did this show feature Chris Morris? In disguise?

Yeah, apart from it being Neil Morrisey, the idea that anyone could spot that little plant from a moving jeep was what first got my Spidey-Sense a' tinglin'... :D

Anyway, what (-supposedly) happened in the end? :confused: (-I got a phone call and missed the last five minutes of the programme.)

I had half an eye on it, and it looked as though he'd discovered his lab had been broken into. Or something. :confused:

I'm guessing somebody stole all the evidence of this miraculous new elixir. Which is, of course, all rather convenient... ;) :D
 
lab got broken into, possibly inside job by head lab techhy, they didnt get the secrets cos they were in a safe but they destroyed the plants and got the research. so he hurtles off to raas his little villiage in jordan to discover it abandoned.

and that was that. really weird.

thsi wasnt just a straightforward 'we've duped you' lie - it was odd.

Ah, right, cheers. Kind of what I expected. ;)

Pretty pointless programme really, wasn't it. :confused:

Presumably the BBC might be planning to show this on terrestrial telly at the beginning of next month? If that were the case, would their hope be that it would've aquired greater authenticity having already been shown weeks earlier on BBC3? :confused:

And it's a sad sign of the times that, for some people, the involvent of several 'celebrities' will probably make it seem that bit more credible/real. (-Which is sort of ironic... :D )

..or just that BBC3 is the trial channel - but that they'd generally still want to wring the life out of it (easier to justify the whole thing by showing it a couple of times first on bbc3 than just showing it once on bbc1 on April Fools Day)?
 
Of course it's not real you fuckwit (taht is anyone who doubted it wasn't).

Neil Morrisey can't even find his own head up his own arse let alone the secret of eternal youth. To him Jordan is "Peter Agassi's bird".

Yeah, all that.

I was also thinking in terms of reinforcing an idea through repetition, to the point where it's more likely to be accepted as truth.

:)

Neil Morrisey's Secret
Sex, Lies and Michael Aspel
Dale's Wedding

Not sure it's all exactly 'lies,' except in the strict sense that the old style Puritans would have used. The 2 films I referred to were hoaxes, but they were quite convincing.

You can not get over the niggle that there MAY be something real about it all. I think you have to look outside the references of the films themselves. I'm going to try and figure out the details of the production crews later. I think they may be the same.

The prog. referred to does sound fun. Maybe I should be watching more tv.

To follow my point, though, please see the following links:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/tv/sexliesandmichaelaspel.shtml



http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/tv/daleswedding.shtml


(as an aside Nell McAndrew is quite famous;
http://www.nellmcandrew.tv/Home/Index.cfm)


Neil Morrisey DOES, however, have a double life. It seems there are no limits to how low he will go:

http://www.ukdiving.co.uk/clubs/log/neil_mor.htm

I think the idea of Morrisey living a secret life of intellectual pursuit is great.

Lastly, look at this page, which does look slightly familiar if you've already viewed the above:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/tv/neil_morrissey.shtml

Next up on BBC3 Barry & Paul Chuckle investigate the spiritual path of Sufi Islam.
 
What a load of bollocks. Neil Morrisey seems to spend most of his time trying to buy up Laugharne and turn it all into posh hotels/restaurants.
 
They did another spoof programme about that guy from Changing Rooms, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, revealing he was once a student radical and campigned against modern architecture! A waste of time and typical of the po mo commissioners/wankers at the bbc these days

yeah they're the same Scream Films made 3 x 60min slots for BBC3, i guess those are the other two.

i'm afraid i dont find aspel or winton's stories half as interesting as the one last night.

The film I missed, you mean.
Obviously this means I need to get out less.
