One of the issues that used to be sturdy approximately this BBBM scam used to be the title, Russell Brand’s received concerns – Matt got here up with that. They say, don’t they, by no means pass judgement on a ebook via its cover, yet it would’ve been beneficial if this cut’n’shut megastar car had been judged by means of identify on my own simply because past that lay purely codswallop. We’d around up a studio viewers and do a Jerry Springer-type convey the place celebrities and the viewers participants could talk about an “issue” (see, strong title) like crime or love or summink. It did not work, because it was inconsequential and there were too many daft principles and no longer adequate editorialising. Which was once a disgrace because some talented people worked on the show. Matt, of course, who I’d abducted from MTV years past and had been writing with ever on the grounds that in a fractious and hilarious partnership the place we laughed like drains and bickered like sisters – he’d write the show with me and dream up disturbing and inappropriate VT ideas which we’d force on to the telly like an unwelcome nan pudding. payment YouTube, baby, because it’s all there. Me and Matt above an East End pie shop dressed as Colonel Sanders and a Nosferatu toddler, eating cold beans from a fake vagina, to intro a show about pets or plants or pipe cleaners. Me and Matt dressed as medieval peasants, dragging our arses throughout wooded area flooring in an “authentic” recreation of a past life a charlatan hypnotist had told me I’d had. And my own favourite, Matt stood in the glare on the glossy studio floor, LIVE, next to a swingometer, dressed as “Peter Zod”, General Zod’s fictional lipstick-wearing nephew. Suzi Aplin, who got here on with Mark to produce the exhibit, would sneak Matt a pint of wine before we went on air to calm his jangling nerves – he concept I didn’t recognize yet I knew. I had my eye on him, that’s why he was there, so I could turn and look and see outdated Matt pinned to the spot and terrified. In the clamour and the chaos of a failing LIVE television show you need something to hold to, and I knew if he was once there every little thing may be okay. The rankings informed a diverse tale of path. every little thing was once no longer o.k.. The exhibit had been promoted like Coca-Cola, it was once on billboards, buses and minimize into students’ hair, yet humans weren’t tuning in. Thank God, because they’d’ve been watching a disaster. Matt instructed me that as the countdown wound down and the lighting went up and we were “LIVE” he’d dig his fist into the pocket of his ridiculous costume and thumb his dressing-room key as a physical talisman that the convey could finally end; that the second wasn’t forever. He rubbed that key like a little tin genie and waited for the ill-deserved credit to roll down the monitor like bleach down a urinal. A reminder that he’d soon be free. No one makes me snicker like Matt Morgan.
