Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) I can imagine - big fish in small pond syndrome. Then again, they would have been living in the proverbial goldfish bowl, as everyone in NI knows everyone else. They'd either be damned as big headed or stand offish. I met Julian Simmonds when he was compering the switching on of Magherafelt District Council's Christmas Lights (our daughter and another child from her school were doing the switch on) and he was very pleasant. I met the big man when I was flying to Canada in about 1991. He also moonlighted - this time as a rep for Air Canada. He was completely different to his on-screen self, although still a bit camp. To be honest, I really enjoyed him camping it up on UTV introducing Corrie. Much better than Graham Norton IMO. Here's a few highlights Edited May 12, 2015 by Cardinal Richelieu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
