Talk:Kevin Eldon

message: This page  discusses one of Kevin Eldon's television appearances, as the recurring character of the 'unusual priest' in episode six, series two of The Morning with Richard Not Judy. The page is written by Richard Herring, one of the people who wrote and starred in TMWRNJ. It contains the text "Kev used some real people's names in his list of those who had let him down, but they weren't people who'd genuinely let him down. One was his sister". In the sketch itself, Kevin only mentions one female name, "Nicola Robinson". This is presumably the name of his sister, if what Richard Herring writes is accurate. I can't really put this in the article, because it's original research; however, I can add it to my private Kevin Eldon scrap-book. I have tried to get in contact with the 2,180 "Nicola Robinsons" who appear on Google, but my ISP has threatened to disconnect me, and the police might become involved, so I will desist.-Ashley Pomeroy 18:37, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: I heard on the "making of" extras on Hot Fuzz that Kevin is a practising Buddhist (as Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright had been speaking to him about this with the intention of making Nicholas Angel a Buddhist). Does anyone have any further information regarding thsi, i.e what form/school of Buddhism he practices? Раскольников/Raskolnikov 12:38, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In the same interview, Eldon says he would be a "killer of cats" if he were not a comedian. Eldon is clearly taking the p*ss during this interview and his responses cannot be trusted. I'm removing the claim from the page. Andrew Oakley (talk) 14:45, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

message: On the Richard Herring blog, Richard alleges that Kevin Eldon appeared in an advert for Twix chocolate bars: http://www.richardherring.com/warmingup/warmingup.php?id=2264 - I will leave it up to my fellows to see if this merits inclusion. --Salimfadhley (talk) 01:16, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think even his most humourless readers can tell that this is a joke. --McGeddon (talk) 16:15, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

text: (For what it's worth, a bit of Google-fu turns up Stephen Taylor Woodrow as the Norm actor.) --McGeddon (talk) 14:31, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Twix Advert as Norm 

message: In the late seventies, Kevin was in a band called Virginia Doesn't. No albums that I'm aware of, but they did have a John Peel Session in October of 1979. Note that Kevin was going under the name of Kev Robinson at this point. Back in 1995, the session was rediscovered by Lee and Herring, who surprised Kevin by playing one of the tracks on their show. I'd like to add something about Kevin's early musical career (since the article has very little about him pre-1990), but what I've just typed here is the sum total of my knowledge of it. Can anybody flesh out the details? Dooky (talk) 12:11, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Missing from this page is Eldon's large contribution to Elvenquest (now in its third series). Someone should add that. On a related note, didn't he also play John Cleese recently on TV?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.22.34.73 (talk) 13:25, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Radio 

message: I'm listening to Poetry Puh-lease on Radio 4 Extra, which is made up of various programmes of different lengths all presided over by Kevin Eldon. While introducing an episode of Hancock's Half Hour, Eldon stated that it was from 1959, which was the year of his birth, then added, "Not 1960, Wikipedia!" I don't know if the horse's mouth is a good enough source on its own to edit the article, however, so maybe somebody could scrounge up his birth certificate.

thread_title:  Year of birth potentially incorrect 

message: Although there is an included reference to the BBC Comedy Hyperdrive, there is no mention in the text of his starring role in the programme. Is this just an oversight?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.36.4.10 (talk) 20:08, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
