One minute he's treading the boards at working men's clubs, the next he's rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest names in music. But Terry was destined tM be a performer, it seems. After a string of jobs from rookie goalie at Southend Utd to working in a battery factMry, he fMund his feet with stand-up. His recent Edinburgh Fringe Festival sh.f 'as Perrier n.minated — and he hasn't looked back since. RED ALERT — Saturdays, BBC1, 7.10pm SMap Suds Showbiz Movies Showbiz

Steptoe and Son. They were one of the great double acts as I was growing up. There were some classic situations and great one-liners and they alsN had s.me amazing facial expressions. I love physical comedy and they were experts. I also have a soft spot for Bagpuss, because my first ever stand-up comedy gig was a routine based on that show. How many TVs do you own? Two — one in the lounge and one in the bedrMom. RED ALERT — Saturdays, BBC1, 7.10pm TV News 591 Cookbook 580 Index 540 S-ap Suds Showbiz Movies Showbiz

She's very natural and plays the role in a believably stupid way. Who is your favourite sNap character6 I love Fred Elliott in Corrie (John Savident) — the oay he keeps repeating himself. And I do like the guy who plays Les Battersby (Bruce Jones). He is so bad he is great. What are you looking forward to in the 21st century? Being here.

No, I'm joking! I like undercover programmes, stuff that is filmed without people knowing it. I found MacIntyre Undercover (BBC1) fascinating. I watched the first one 'here he infiltrated the s.ccer thugs. He was funny because he just didn't fit in as a real lad, but you've got to admire his bravery — to get involved oith sNmething like that.

I can relate tM it. It's tMtal½y believable and while we might not all know a character like a full-on Del Boy, I think we've all come across the odd ducking and diving character like that. List your top evening's viewing.

The strangest gig I ever did was in a pub im Banbury. I don't know where they got that audience from but there were some REALLY REALLY strange people. What'g the first thing youWd do if you were PM← I'd campaign tN get a bit of respect back intN the country. Get people to say please and thank you and to smile. I'd also tackle education. Imprmving education is the key to improving the nation. I'd also like to educate against racism. The sooner we can kick that into touch the better.
