If they ever do a biopic of rock-soul crooner & WetWetWet frontman Marti Pellow (he was born in a public loo, if my memories of Smash Hits issues from twenty years ago are reliable), I’ve just realised who’d be perfect to play him on screen.
Previously in this series:
Joshua Jackson and Chow Yun Fat, back in 2001
And Tim Curry / Jeremy Beadle from 2002
Weird. I was watching Swordfish on Sunday night, and I was convinced that Hugh Jackman was in fact the bloke who used to be in Neighbours (and possibly Flying Doctors). Jackman looked unfamiliar without big sideburns and Adamantium claws…
You mean Guy Pearce?
(Or Stefan Dennis?)
I think Tim means Peter O’Brien.
Marty was born in a lavatory.
Graham used to dip ginger nuts in his tea,
But he doesn’t now he’s no time for such tomfoolery,
He’s too busy wearing the Queen Mums jewellery.
Neil’s the one who makes good soup.
Oh look here comes a boy scout troup,
Except of course it’s not it’s Tommy,
Who’s got red hair so he’s probably a commie.
Sorry I’ve got a very warped memory. It was printed on the back of a Smash Hits Wet Wet Wet postcard.
Celeste, with that kind of random pop-trivia/eighties memory, you are MOST welcome.
(Incidentally, I used to vaguely fancy one of them. Brown hair, played the bass? Possibly Neil?)
(See also: Mags from A-Ha)
(See also: Larry Mullen Jr)
(See also: the guitarist from Curiosity Killed The Cat - Julian?)
(I was *all* about the talent behind the frontman)
…..you’ve never seen Van Helsing have you?
I love this game :)
@David: that’s him! Thanks :)
