He was extremely nice and friendly (considering by then I was officially a Vile Pervert). Dead Man Weds was a brilliantly conceived sitcom. Had it been on BBC2 or Channel 4 it would have had an audience, but because ITV haven't a clue what to do with sitcoms, it was stuck at some stupid time of night with no bloody viewers.
JK2006	No more Hedgehoppers; a couple died; Mick (singer) still makes music and lives Down Under; and we still pay them royalties every 6 months!
bh	I've got a story for you, JK. In the late 80s, I went to one of those Sixties music things, where they have old groups on. On the bill, it said I'd see Manfred Mann, Wayne Fontana, the Searchers & Hedgehoppers Anonymous. When Hedgehoppers came on, I thought this lot are none of the original group. So at the end of the evening I spoke to the manager of the venue. He said "Well I wanted to get a group that don't perform anymore. So, I gathered a bunch of people over the age of 50 together & called them Hedgehoppers Anonymous". Do the original group still play?
Received Wisdom	We always guessed that the talented Johnny 'monkey' Vegas was a good bloke from a long tradition of showbiz down-home heroes. Working-Class Heroes just don't, er, 'work' anymore. Giss a job ?
