Prepare to cringe.....

He sounds the spit of Partridge at first I thought it was someone mimicking him.

Is Partridge based on this guy per-chance?

 

[Tricky Skills]

And they keep coming...

Smooth Radio's Tony Lyman talks drugs with Boy George.

What's really weird is that Smooth try and make mileage out of this and flag it as a genuine news story. Maybe the local radio knobber is alive and well throughout the land.

I cringed so hard I hurt my jaw. Good God.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Is it a spoof? I still can't quite get my head round it.

 

[Tricky Skills]

No spoof - I actually use to work with Tony, some twenty years ago. A lovable guy, but he really shouldn't be interviewing Boy George.

Local radio is just plain crap, innit? It reminds me of the whole Jarvis vs Jacko thing from back in the day. There's still a them and us out there.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I meant Les Ross. Not the other bloke. Haven't listened to your link yet because my husband's having a cringe at the link in the OP.

 

[dogmatique]

Is there another link? The one in the op now points to nowhere...

Partridge was based a bit unfairly on the late Tony Wilson.

This guy's [unintentionally] far funnier than Partridge.

 

[Orang Utan]

He was based on Titchmarsh and Aspel - at least, that's what I read

Partridge was not based on Tony Wilson.

Definitely real, was even mentioned on R4's feedback last week, after they were done slagging off George Lamb.

"I don't do that, I'm British!". Fuck me.

Edit : At least Radio Four presenters realize it's not all about ethnisethnisisnisnisticity.

 

[Flashman]

Les Ross is a genius. Or bonkers.

"This isn't working for me on any level"



Poor bastard interviewer, intimidated by someone with an IQ above room temperature...

[Cheesypoof]

nothing can make me 'cringe'

you are dealing with a unique mind though so i'll let it slip.
