Am I getting so New Order-obsessed that I see references everywhere, or is Steve Coogan's new caracter Tommy Saxondale (BBC Monday 10pm) inspired by Peter Hook? It's the body language and the facial expressions that remind me of him. Am I going mad?

I got quite in to it by the end of the series.that secretary that kept taking the piss out of him reminded me of so many women i've encountered at work
Nice line from earlier in the series "even Iggy Pop has to descale the kettle" - great stuff.

I love that cheeky chirpy Cockerknee secretary act!
And the fact that she's had two kids with David Baddiel. Well, you gotta fancy your chances, aintcha?!

Me too! Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed how fit she was 
She's certainly changed a fair bit since the days of Absolutely.

I don't think he's like Hooky; there's just something in his mannerisms that reminds me of him. Then again, it might just be the beard .....

I thought it might be inspired by 'Sarge' (NO's sort of body guard geezer)...

Good to see more embarrassing celebrity crush confessions (Johnny Vegas, me).
I kind of know what you mean about David Baddiel though. I used to watch Newman and Baddiel knowing that Newman what the better looking one, but still fancying Baddiel a bit. It's the old Barney/Hooky dilemma, isn't it?

These dilemas are easy to solve, there's the one you would shag a few times and the one you would marry :)

Oh yes!
As for Frank Skinner he admitted to going with a prostitute in his youth, and Rob Newman ended up sleeping in a cardboard box (or something).
Are the standards of NOOL women that low? Prove me wrong!
