    Moron of the Moment – Richard Madeley

    Alleged shoplifter and husband of pisshead Richard Madeley has proven himself delusional in declaring himself an expert on coronavirus

    Whilst the government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic can most definitely be summed up as incompetent, that the ‘Dorian Gray of daytime telly’ Richard Madeley has now made himself out to be an expert on the matter this morning in the Express is beyond laughable.

     

    Previously known for having disgracefully insulted someone with autism and branded “sexist” by his potbellied pisshead wife Judy Finnigan in February, Madeley boldly declared “we are being duped” over the death rate and argued that “lockdown will come to be seen as one of the most catastrophic misjudgments a British government has ever made.”

     

    Going further in Nostradamus-like fashion, this king of the ‘memory lapse’ when it came to helping himself to champagne in supermarkets concluded: “[They are trying to] put the fear of God into the public. A great reckoning is coming.”

     

    In response, one Twitter user, Andrew Keates, rightly remarked: “I need to read Richard Madeley’s perspective on Covid-19 as much as needing to know Ann Widdecombe’s top 10 tips on how to be sexy.” He most definitely has a point.

    Many referenced him as a “thief” and a “clown.”
    Whilst Richard Madeley has regularly been mocked over his alleged shoplifting, he is known for many other gaffs.

    Richard Madeley’s wife Judy Finnigan is best known for being drunk and her ‘bra incident’ at the Brit Awards in 2000.
    Guests on Madeley’s shows have variously called in and made either utter prats of themselves or prats of Richard and Judy also.

  • A Really Useful Angelis

    A Really Useful Angelis

    Matthew Steeples remembers the Liverpudlian actor and voice of ‘Thomas & Friends’ Michael Angelis who sadly passed away yesterday

    Screen and voice actor Michael Angelis was the narrator of Thomas & Friends for twenty-one years. He took over the role from Ringo Starr and in tribute, following his death, Doctor Who writer Harry Draper remarked of him on Twitter: “Thank you, Michael. You were far more than just Really Useful.”

     

    Born in Liverpool in 1952, Angelis appeared in everything from A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square to Boys from the Blackstuff and Lovejoy. He was subsequently married to his Coronation Street co-star Helen Worth from 1991 to 2001 and other credits included Bergerac, Crown Court, Hazell, Midsomer Murders, Minder and Z-Cars.

     

    An amiable sort and often spotted socialising in Chelsea at such places as The Sydney Arms, Angelis lived for many years just to the south of Albert Bridge. More recently, this lively Liverpudlian moved to the countryside with his delightful second wife, Jennifer, and after passing away suddenly yesterday will be missed by many. As a fan concluded: “He was the voice of my childhood… He brought us all a lot of happiness.”

    On Twitter, actor and comedian Matt Lucas paid tribute by remarking: “Michael Angelis was one of the greatest TV actors I’ve ever seen. His work with Alan Bleasdale was tremendous. What a loss.” Here he is pictured in a scene from the BBC’s ‘Single Voices’ in the monologue ‘The Last Supper’ in 1989.
