On the E4 ad for BB it shows there biggest fan Avid "you will like it, it is warm" Merion (spelling?!?!) but who the hell is the comedian/actor who portrays him?

This as been doing my nut in for over a week now, i think his first name is Lee, he used to appear on possibly PlayUK last year with his 'Celebrity Stalker' Avid Merion, but his name as completely slipped me by.

I wanna see him guest on 'BBLB'.

Sorry, I do not find him funny in the slightest, its probably one of the worst adverts I have ever come across, it is stupid american type humor (intentional spelling) in the UK we spell Humour, but the Yanks are not overly bright at the best of times are they.

If I never see that advert again it will be too soon

He reminds me of Borrat off Ali G.
I thought he was quite funny the first few times I saw the advert, and wouldnt mind seeing him as a guest on BBLB.

Sorry, I dont know his name though.

He used to be on a channel 4 show...I cant remember which.

Basically he stalked people in a scary...yet funny way.

All names escape me.

He's a character which sprung out of "Show Me The Funny" in the early days of E4, with his skits like "A Day In The Life Of Craig David" etc. Whatever happened to that show, I'm sure when it finished they said it'd be back? I liked the laid back presentation style anyway. nd

I totally forgot about the "A Day In The Life...." series, excellent stuff Craig David was fantastic as was the Sting one.

What was the character called who met Limahl....that was another fine one..."Doozer".

And eltepuss BIG THANKS for the name, i remember now it's actually LEIGH FRANCIS, Cheers.

Anyone know of any Leigh Francis websites out there, i've looked but not found any.
