Well, hello.
Day 10
Ricky Tomlinson
Can someone tell me the appeal of this man? As overrated as the sitcom he appears in, as unwelcome as the catchphrase he shamelessly 'borrows' from it and uses ad nauseum on everything he appears in or on, be it TV show, book, interview or toilet, Tomlinson is a repulsive presence on TV.
Looking like a misprint on a Guess Who board, this man's very earliest involvement in politics was with the National Front, supporting Enoch Powell's 'Rivers of Blood'. He may have had a change of heart, but it's a bit of an extreme one in a short space of time, and it's worth people knowing.
In the here and now, it's his shameless overuse of that fucking catchphrase (which I refuse to repeat here, just because I'm sick of it), using it to cash in on non-Royle-related DVDs and books, and, most recently, G.O.L.D.'s Sitcom documentaries. And yet, people buy it. Quite why they want to buy anything featuring the bloke from Operation after really letting himself go is beyond me.
