"It wouldn't be so bad if he actually looked excited, but he just stands still,and watches...... Wonder if he is related to Rio Ferdindand???!"

Maybe he's like a tubbier version of The Observer from Fringe...

Neville Gorman used to do this a lot before he finally scored his first Hollywood speaking role. It's more common than you'd think.

Haha he was on the news again this morning - on BBC when they were doing a report outside Westminster. I nearly jumped shouting "there he is!!!" to my parents and them having no clue what I'm on about!

Seen him through some of the election news.

LOL, I'm glad this has come up again. I spotted him on the ITV lunchtime news today too.

I've put a page together showing some of his appearances here:

xiphrex · 31 May 2010 at 18:23

How does he know where to go to be on tv?

Marky · 31 May 2010 at 18:30

Thanks for the heads up.

He must really love that jumper

He'll probably go psycho when it becomes tatty.
