Neil Morrisey
Neil Anthony Morrissey (born 4 July 1962, Stoke-on-Trent) is an English actor. His most famous roles include Rocky in Boon; Tony in Men Behaving Badly; the voice of Bob the Builder and playing Eddie Lawson (deputy head) in Waterloo Road. These are the facts of Wikipedia, but for me he will always be Tony in Men Behavining Badly. The architypal 1990's "man". Love him or hate him, the show projected him to what was become the ultimate 1990s bad boy TV show. | ||||

Men Brewing Badly |
Men Brewing Badly : World Cup 2010
WORLD Cups and alcohol don't always mix. There's still parts of Rimini being rebuilt after a contingent of England fans stopped by for a quiet pint at Italia '90. Nevertheless, Neil Morrissey and co-brewer Richard Fox have vowed to bring a flavour of British beer to South Africa, although FIFA was never going to let their blonde ale replace the half-time oranges. Of course, just watching a couple of blokes delivering a few crates of ale is never going to make overly fascinating television. That's why the Dray Channel on Sky was so ill-fated. And so Morrissey and Fox embarked on a 3,000-mile road trip from Dar es Salaam down through Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana and on into South Africa. There were 5 episodes - I only have episodes1, 3 and 5 (I think), but these give a real flavour of the show as most of it is travelling across Africa, drinking, arguing, cooking etc. |

The show is stolen by Neil Morrissey's performance as Charlie/Charlotte, but the rest of the Hunters (and the rest of the cast; Jane Horrocks' versatility shines through yet again, with the whole idea of her being a lesbian landlady in a seaside resort b&b verging on the ridiculous) add in some vital and amazingly funny elements.
