Sorry - Chips should have been in the list.

Mykola Pawluk


I'll have to get some old tapes out I think.
Are you particularly bored tonight Justin?

For me, you can still do no better than...

Rostrum Camera
Ken Morse.

Always a guarantee of quality. And I believe there was a documentary about him. Or at least a Points of View piece.

I liked a Fast Show sketch (think it was one of the Chanel 9's) where they had loads of silly-foreign-sounding names on an end-credit sequence, then in the middle...

"Rostrum Camera : Ken Morse"

Great in-joke. Guess you had to be there...

Hats - The Jeremy Bamber Hat Explosion

Monica Boggust (forgotten her job), who worked on Eastenders, always made me chuckle.

Whose Line... employed Jane Bigger, which was handy when Jimmy Mulville (or someone) once had to read out the end credits in the style of Frankie Howerd.

Mel Bibby (who presumably inspired the Fry and Laurie "On the streets with Bibby" sketch)

Mykola Pawluk always got a big cheer round my house, too.

Fred Feast.

And Keith Twat.

Jack Woolgar - always played 'Old Man' in practically every 1960s/1970s programme ever made.

The most prominent name in Film Processing in Aussie movie credits is Bill Gooley.

Mary Fukuto
(Cheers and Frasier)

<slaps forehead>

What was I thinking!?

UTIT CHUMAONG!!

<hopes that enthusiasm will make up for dodgy spelling>

11OCS once had someone called Mackenzie Crook. Hilarious, eh?

They also had someone called Iain Lee, who was just as funny as his name.

Theres someone in the credits for Tombstone called Wyatt Earp, which seems a bit of a coincidence. Could be a gag except he's Best Boy or something.
There was an exhibition of Automata at Lancashire County museu featuring some work by "Godfrey and Twat".

Also, and this is irrelevent to this thread, but I don't really like starting new threads in case they fall flat on their arses, but did anyone see Channel 4 news last night. It tried to out "Day to Day" "The Day to Day". Right at the start, it said something along the lines of "Tony Blair insists it's time for a victory salute, but the motorists have another kind of salute in mind."
As this was being said, a hand on a black background was pictured doing the Victory symbol, but rotated 180 degrees in the second half of the sentence.

Magic!

Hazel Pethig.

Have we done Clive Doig or Ed Bye yet?

Always liked Fred Quimby (Tom & Jerry) too.

Come, come, Al, no need for formalities. I think you should shove your insight in which-so-ever thread you choose.
Especially when you are fighting for all that is good and right.
Or suggesting we should all listen to "White Man at Hammersmith Palais". Fantastic!

Doh!
Now I put it in the wrong thread!

>UTIT CHUMAONG!!

i was gonna say that! OK, i'll have to go with my second...

Mark McJimsey

Oleh Stepanyuk - Week Ending & Huddlines contributor

Bob and Barbara Boulton - alliterative gag writing couple, ditto

Sorry, I have to trump the lot of you with the immortal and baffling

ORAL NORRIE OTTIE

(script editor on "Cracker" and various feature films).

Loyal Griggs - a cameraman on loads of early 1970s American films

And there's LOADS from Doctor Who:

Dorka Niedzarik
Odile Dicks-Murieaux
Michaeljohn Harris
Donald Tosh
Harry Towb
Pat Gorman...

Actually, it's Dorka Nieradzik. She does make-up stuff for DW and loads of other shows. She got interviewed in DWM once.

>Actually, it's Dorka Nieradzik. She does make-up stuff for DW and loads of other shows. She got interviewed in DWM once.

Don't forget that hilarious actor name from DW "Marco Polo", who also played the Bournemouth Strangler in Pete & Dud's top film "The Wrong Box":

Tutte Lemkow (or Tooty Lem Cow as I always like to say it)

how about:
Wilfred Pickles

Let's not miss the obvious candidates; Christopher Lillicrap and Wally Stott (composer of the Hancock theme tune).

Don't know if it's an actual person, but at the end of "Superman" it says

Cheerios by GENERAL MILLS

General Mills is/was the company that produce Cheerios and other such foods over in Uncle US of Stateside.

If this was supposed to be a joke, then sorry for looking like a humourless fool.

From The Goodies:

Stunts
Stewart Fell

I always thought that was a brilliant name for a stuntman.

Oh and just coz they've done vision mixing on every BBC comedy since The Young Ones - Hilary Briegal.

From the other night's VLS Advert thingy:

Mike Hunt

Not brilliant names, but as ubiquitous as "Rostrum Camera - Ken Morse" are:

VT Editor
Chris Wadsworth

Incidental Music
ROGER LIMB
BBC Radiophonic Workshop

Masters of their trades... Chris Wadsworth is terribly nice, and very very good indeed, well worth every penny...

The guests for tomorrow night's (Sun) Melvyn Bragg discussion show, 'Who's Afraid Of The Ten Commandments':

Susan Brownmiller
Dr Helena Cronin
William Oddie (???)

and

JOHN SHELBY SPONG

Which I like. Y'know eventually we're going to pick on the surname of a forum contributor.

>Y'know eventually we're going to pick on the surname of a forum contributor.


Halo? Halo??

>Let's not miss the obvious candidates; Christopher Lillicrap and Wally Stott (composer of the Hancock theme tune).

Wally Stott also composed the ATV brass/xylophone jingle, and was one of the first people in the UK to fly out to Los Angeles to have a sex-change operation, where she now resides as Elizabeth (can't remember the name off the top of my head)

I thought this one would have cropped up by now, but my personal favourite is from The Simpsons. I have to admit to not being entirely sure of the first name, though:
David(?) Mirkin.
Makes me laugh, anyway.

Doctor Who Magazine letters page, circa 1983:

Benito Caramel.

ALWAYS included in the credits of our spoof Who things later in the decade.

That'd be William Oddie the American Christian, not Bill Oddie the loveable birdwatching comedian, last seen saying "oooh look they've actually dared to put 5 seconds of The Goodies to air on the BBC" on that night of 1000 shows thing on Saturday.

Bragg addressed him as "Doctor Spong" too, which was brilliant.

I can't imagine anyone would make fun of *my* surname - I mean, what's funny about "Titbobbler"?

Neighbours used to have a Simone Semen on the end credits, which always raised a smirk.

Playschool had Will Hill.

By name and nature, eh?


Sorry. Cheap shot.
