I agree, that is a terrible name. He should have changed it.
I've just had a thought.
Christopher Lillicrap for the next Doctor Who!!!!!

I think it was called 'Handfull of songs'. Wasn't it on at lunchtime
or something? I seem to recall getting back home from school for lunch
just in time for this *crud* to come on. Either that, it was just
after school ended in the early evening slot.

I doubt it! Mind you, the funniest name I've seen is that US Senator
called Lawrence Eagleburger!! Laughed? We nearly shat!

Didn't he present a programme with 2 puppets in it, called Mo and Hedge?
I can't remember how many years ago it was on but I know I used to watch
it and think: "Does he realise that people even as young as I was then take
the p*ss out of his name or is it a deliberate ploy to inflict vulgarities
on the young at an early age? [as in that well-known urban legend Captain
Pugwash]"

I remember a few years ago when Kenny Everett had a Saturday show on Capital
radio that he used to take the piss out of CL's name. He went as far as
contacting him and asking him why he didn't change it. Apparent CL is really
proud of his name, as it's meant to mean something like "beloved of Queen
Elizabeth" or some such s**t. I would have thought that it would have meant
"kno**ead".

Most of the cast of Empty Nest. The git who lived next door
had some implausible name, but I've forgotten it. The prize was taken
by the secretary though. I seriously thought I'd forgotten how to read
the first time I saw the credits claim her name was Park Overall
(honest!).
