The Memoirs of a TV Matinee Idle
2 Cassettes
Richard Whitely was the first person to appear on Channel 4. Nobody was to know that the new face on the channel was still to be there 17 years later, and that Countdown would be dominating the channels Top Ten ratings. Richard Whiteley is known for his jackets and his puns - opinion is divided as to which is worse. However he is regarded as a cult figure among a broad section of society. He has appeared in such shows as Hale and Pace, TFI Friday, Shooting Stars, and Fantasy Football, received a "Gotcha" from Noel Edmonds and is constantly on the receiving end of Terry Wogan's gentle mockery.
Richard talks frankly about the many disasters and unlikely events which have befallen him on his way to becoming a true TV matinee idle.
