Wavis in the Gazette
He was on Check it out as Hootsi tabernacle, a spoof Californian leader of the Nebbist sect who was buying and having Marsden Rock flow over to the States. His hard dog, wearing Martens, featured with him as Foffo Spearjig as The Hard, on a Tube sketch. The bug*er got everywhere in those days!

He also appeared now and then on other occasional Tyne tees shows, perhaps the most memorable being on an artsyfarsty show called The Works where he did a sketch as a wacky magician invoking the spirit of beer 'n' tabs,another classic. Actually show of these snippets are collected on a short dvd which was included in his last Cd 'uncooked raveloni'. He didnt mention in the feature his 1989 appearance with his missus on the 'Giftbusters' section of the Noel Edmonds saturday roadshow, or his 10 minute radio slot on the Radio One VIZ documentary 'Viz - the rock 'n' roll years' in 1997.Innee shy?

ha ha for sheer madness its got to be 10 out of 10, how foffo spearjig was ever allowed to walk the streets i will never know, lets face it thats one santa you DO NOT WANT calling at your house on christmas day, by a strange chance the next day i found a old copy of the shields gazette dated early 1980's and it had a story about how foffo was off to some caves in Yorkshire to find king aruthers long lost grave, did he find it ?

..er, actually, young man, I think he was searching for Atlantis, not Arthur.(Didnt find either, as it happens, but caught a severe cold. Potholes off the list ever onward)
