Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted September 20, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) I remember reading that John Challis hated being remembered as being Boycie. He finally came around. Classically trained actor and all that. Very posh. Edited September 20, 2021 by bAzTNM#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say before. My friend booked him for a signing in his shop he had at the time, must have been 2002/3 ish. He was happy to sign any OFAH merchandise and even recorded some video messages in character. He was booked in a Dr Who shop for a Dr Who signing.

DavidB6937 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I'm sure the money etc didn't hurt, but he really did end up loving the whole thing. I've seen celebs that are one way in front of fans and completely different behind the scenes, but John was genuine in his enthusiasm and enjoyment of meeting the fans - even when it was such a regular thing. I think you just get to a point where you can either accept it and go along for the ride and enjoy the positives or end up very bitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted September 20, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2021 He did a theatre tour a few years back that had my old work as one of the stops. Him and his, I think wife, were utterly lovely and charming in a very old fashioned way. And they chose the local Italian over a KFC, good call.

wordsfromlee Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 He properly loved the Boycie gimmick by the end. He lived not far from me so I'd see him all the time. He would take any opportunity to have a stall set up selling photos and autographs. It was verging on Virgil levels but he was always a lovely bloke about it - happy to chat to anyone and everyone. Food Festival in the town square? He'd have a table in between a cheese monger and a bloke selling hot sauces. Village fete? He'll be set up next to the coconut shy. Makers Market in the town square? He's down the bottom opposite the woman with her home made bird boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Richard H. Kirk best known for being part of the early Industrial pioneers Cabaret Voltaire passed away today. The Cab's were fucking great, from harsh experimental industrial to catchy synth pop they could do it all when it came to electronic music.
