I love Kenneth Williams in pretty much everything, but he was a miserable strike-breaking old Tory.

Brian Blessed as well. It broke my heart when I was listening to his biography and he was talking about his politics. It's especially difficult given he's from Yorkshire and spent time "darn 't pit". He's still had a heck of a career and life.

Ramsay's the best worker in the game, if this was 1995 he'd be in WWF managing a stable of evil cooks and waiters.

From the little I've seen of Ramsay I always assumed it was a gimmick turned up to 11 because he knew people loved that schtick but he was probably an alright fella. At least he isn't Jamie fucking Oliver.

Funnily enough (and for reasons I can't quite remember) a while ago I ended up going down a rabbit hole of reading people's experiences of meeting Ramsay both as part of filming his TV shows and just generally in real life, and it was almost unanimously positive.  General consensus seemed to be his TV work (especially the US versions) was just everything turned up to 100 but behind the scenes he was actually a really sound bloke.  Lots of stories of him taking the time to speak to all the kitchen workers at restaurants he visits etc. 

I did know a girl who worked at a Waterstones where he did a book signing and all the staff were a bit nervous but he was then really nice with everyone and all the customers.

He was undoubtedly a total cunt to his staff in his quest for his first 3 Michelin star restaurant though when he young. All ingrained in him from Marco and the restaurants he worked in France when young. He was an absolute bully chucking plates in peoples faces and screaming at them for messing up a dish. He turned up on a Britain's Worst Bosses show when he was secretly filmed being a dick to staff.

He may well have grown out of that behind the scenes and it just became a character he could put back on for Hells Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares for the camera. He obviously has a temper though and was good friends D'Acampo. So him making fucked up jokes to female staff wouldn't particularly surprise me. He may also be savvy enough to realise that could be a career ender but also maybe he just grew up and stopped being a cunt I guess.

Michael Jackson - been a massive fan for over 30 years and even have a tattoo of the guy. Moonwalker is great, the musics alright too.

Louis CK - I haven't seen any of his post-allegation stuff, but that run of specials in the late-00's were some of my favourites ever. Also not forgetting his TV show, 'Louie' which I thought was pure excellence. I was so gutted when it came out he had been a wrong 'un. I've heard his new stuff is still good but I haven't brought myself to watch any of it yet.

Allegedly they are former friends and Ramsey was one of the first to raise concerns about Gino's behaviour after that show he did on ITV with D'Campo and Fred Siriex. This is why the show wasn't renewed thought they blamed clashing schedules. Apparently he was concerned about his conduct with women on the set and how he was treating other staff - not sure how true this is but read it in an article last week

A Tory cunt he may be but I can’t quite help but like Michael Portillo after enjoying his chemistry on the couch with the great Diane Abbot on This Week (hosted by unlikeable cunt Andrew Neil).

James Corden.

Sorry lads, but he’s brilliant in Gavin & Stacey and the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on stage is One Man Two Guvnors when he was the lead. Just a phenomenally talented actor. 

Never watched League of Their Own or his chat show.

I think he's a decent actor as well to be honest.

Malcolm McLaren put in his will that it would be read out at the funeral that his son gets fuck all from him. His son is a fashion designer and worth millions (and his mother is Vivienne Westwood, so he's not going short), but the sheer pettiness of letting him know he's taking the hate for his son to the grave made me like Malky more than when he was alive.

Yeah I also think he's a good actor, he has to have something about him to be somewhere successful, but I do hope I never have to see him in moving pictures ever again, he's so off-putting outside of his theatre work.

He's not too bad on that Great Railway Journeys either.

One of my go-to shows when I need to completely zone out.

I know someone who used to work with Gordon Ramsey (on the TV production/management side, not the restaurant side) and he always said that he was a nice bloke and easy to deal with.
