    I seem to remember he had a sitcom in the 80s/90s (where he wrote the theme tune, sang the theme tune, natch) and in which he played a wealthy middle aged man who was hugely attractive to women.

    Remember that time I was in the Passport Office with Sam Kelly and posted about it on here?

    I still feel bad that he really didn't get the full value out of that passport renewal.
