Apparently the current version on Radio 2 is now more popular than the old
Radio 1 version from the 80's...

But no characters!

Remember...

Sid the Manager
Mr Mad
Mr Food
Diamond Geezer
Llamaman
The Gary Davies Quads
Linda Lust
Laura's Second Love
Mick Jagger

What others were there?

The only thing I remember from the Steve Wright show was a jingle that
went "Fillet o'fish, fillet o'fish, give me fish to fill it!". Christ
knows why I remember that particular jingle.

I remember him with Arnee And The Terminators, singing 'I'll Be Back'! And
he did a spoof thingy about MC Hammer as well but I can't remember what that
was called...

That would be a character called "Mr. Fish-Filleter" then

Didn't he do that thing where Sting and David Bowie went head to head in an
effort to sing more strangely than eachother? And David Bowie would call for
a time check with a sung; "Tell me what the time is, Steeeeyyyyveh"

?

He recently reversed over his dog in the driveway, killing it, and someone
(on Chris Evans?) recently made the pun:

"I'll be back........ing over my dog"

Diamond Geezer presented the Mr Spoons feature, where office workers
nominated somebody to be Mr Spoons for the day. The lucky person had to wear
all their clothes inside out and back to front all day, have Mr Spoons
written on their forehead, and call everybody else "My Special Lover"

IIRC the theme went:

Diamond Geezer, get serious
Talking about a man who makes you delirious
The man on the corner with the vacant stare
Tap him on the forehead, there's nothing there
He's insane, he's no cool cat
Is he a yankee, no he's a prat
He's Mr Spoons, Mr Spoons.

Probably Very early 90's, but Captain Fishy.

"If You don't like it, you can smell my fishy fingers"

"Deboning fish was always a bit of a problem, until I got Captain Fishy's
boner in my house"

BBC were soon to catch on, lasted about a month.

On a slightly different theme can anyone else remember the take off he did of MC Hammer's Can't touch this? I would love to hear it or read the lyrics of it again. I seem to recall it went something like "a real live wire - can't touch this"
any ideas?

I’ve had this tin of luncheon mean since 1955 - don’t touch that!
