That guy is called Paul Yarrow - My big mate once threw him over a table at Camden and attempted to choke him for ruining a deal with someone else!



There's a fair few videos of him on YouTube...

Awesome! I love the way he has a strange dance with camera operators, stepping side to side and moving around the presenters and interviewees so there is no avoiding him!

He's a proper character. I was doing a recruitment drive for a company I worked for in a South London job centre, years ago, and he walked in for an interview. It's was quite surreal given that I knew him from the fairs - back then he had a handlebar moustache and my mate dubbed him "buccaneer mother----er" - almost every one of the oddball regulars had a nickname and it was usually followed with a "MF"

I saw that earlier and think Russell Howard actually quite likes what he was doing.

It's really funny - one of the tabloids ran an article on Yarrow a good few years ago now and he said that he did it because people like him aren't represented on TV at all, which is a fair point.

Plenty of good 88 titles on the way, think they're going to be put on a birthday/xmas list though as am broke lol!

I remember the fairs at Watford Leisure Centre with gladness. Taking a wad of cash, knowing that you'd come back with some goodies

Also loved meeting Harryhausen and Savini - and their respective talks - happy days!

People like him?

Is that people with only the one white sweater?

Yeah, I remember they got Savini, Oliver Smith, and David Warbeck. Midnight media run the camden one & have had some good guests in the past.

I remember when it all started to go south and trading standards started wandering around, people got paranoid & left in a rush with their dodgey tapes, lol!
