Too purple. And those big old dusty perpendicular seats.

That was a great show. A bit too bizarre for a lot of people, and could be hit and miss at times, but some of the characters and scenes were sheer brilliance.

I heard the people of the town used to get quite upset when they were filming. I can understand that.

Did you know Royston Vasey is Roy Chubby Brown's real name?

I saw that in a report about him being nicked for something recently. Odd name. Odd fellow.

I had a Viz video (Fat Slags). The voices of the two young ladies were provided by Sue Pollard and Kathy Burke. They had a Roy Chubbie Brown (parody) character called "Chubby Arse". It summed him up really well. Crude is far too mild a word to describe it. My Mum actually bought me the video for Xmas because she know I read Viz. I watched it with my flat mate, and even we were stunned by it's crudeness.

And there is a Bois at the end of it as well.

Chesham Bois - pronounced locally as Chessam Boyz.

You'd think they would know better in Buckinghamshire.
