The Rod Hull and friends shoot couldn’t have been 91 as UK Gladiators only started in 92
(Really important correction)

When they asked Ian McKellen what he looked for in a wife I'm curious as to whether McKellen made a pact with the interviewer to go along with the charade, or whether he went along because he felt he had to.
"she doesn't exist" is barely going along with the charade, though.

looks like the Rod Hull/Scorpio Turkey photoshoot is from 1 December 1992, the other pictures with Faith Brown, Ronnie Corbett etc are a different photoshoot from 20 November 1991

If only Immanuel Velikovsky was still alive. He would come up with a theory that the 1991 British Turkey Christmas photoshoot was actually the same photoshoot as the 1992 British Turkey Christmas photoshoot, and that our current dating of UK Gladiators was incorrect. And that the year 1990 did not happen. And that Not with a Bang and Lazarus and Dingwall were in fact the same television programme.

There are many other David Hamiltons out there, including the main indie DJ in Southampton in the 90s and an extremely dodgy photographer.

"he wanted to watch the football, but his Sky aerial wasn’t transmitting properly."
tbf it was actually Rupert Murdoch who was indirectly responsible for Rod Hull's death, it was one of his employees who did a shoddy Sky installation and that's why the fucker died!
― vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Saturday, 4 May 2024 10:11 (four weeks ago) link
the one time I had Sky, the installation was abysmal. The dish was hanging off my wall because it had been fixed to the rendered insulation rather than to the house bricks. When a sky employee arrived he said he can't fix the problem because Sky don't supply him with long enough coaching screws to fix to the brick. He said if you just pop down to B+Q and get some 100mm coaching screws then I will come back today and fix it. I said ffs please tell me this is some kind of fucking joke, no he was completely serious.

Speaking to John Cleese on the latest episode of his Rosebud podcast, Brandreth said: “I killed a man. It was Rod Hull, the emu man.”
Imagining Brandreth saying this like Robert Shaw delivering the "Mr Hooper, that's the USS Indianapolis" line in Jaws

"So, Cliff Richard and I, the Bishop, the Archbishop, and the Rabbi all gathered at a room at London University. Lord Longford welcomed us, and then he distributed filthy magazines and we sat there, the Bishop, the Archbishop, the Rabbi, me, Cliff Richard in a circle with Lord Longford, flicking through these disgusting magazines going, 'Oh, no, oh' no!' (...) anyway, God, this went on for several months."

I've got a faint memory of Harry Enfield doing a parody of Brandreth or his type, wearing a knitted jumper with I AM A GIT on the front using the catchphrase "how mildly whimsical". At least it reminded me of him. Can't remember where I saw it.
