Sorry, cymru, "it" still makes me cringe. And sooo crude. It surprises me BT sanctioned it! Hey hoe

I am probably way out of line by saying what I am about to say.
He reminds me of that evil Leslie Neilson, who many years ago ( as you more senior posters will know ) ,kept boys locked up and eventually killed them.
I won't go into detail's of what he did to them.
When I saw Craig in the cupboard all I could think of was this evil man.
Sorry if i've offended anyone, but I detest him.
I think BB producers could have found a more suitable fan ( if that's what he is ) although as someone has already said he's probably just a nobody trying to make a name for himself.
I wish they would get him off.

I think he's quite funny, and on BBLB I loved Spencers reaction to him, like he didn't know what to make of him - made me laugh a lot!

I haven't seen the late night adverts with Kate and Alex - dare I ask? What are they?

I think Craig has definite comic potential actually, much more so than Avid - the bit where he's making him read why he should be on Big Brother, and he says something like "What am I Craig?"

"You're very warm" - the way Craig says that cracks me up every time! Am I mad??

Anyway, i don't watch E4 coverage that much, so i haven't seen the rest of the adverts, just that one.

WILDCHILD · 04-07-2002, 02:27 PM

Love it or hate it guys - its just an advert!

Was the murderer not Des Neilsen?

Leslie Neilson is a former tough-guy actor who turned to comedy with huge success in Airplane, Police Squad and the Naked Gun movies. He also made a video called "Bad Golf My Way" which, as someone who cannot stand golf, I found hilarious!

Romantic Old Bird · 07-07-2002, 08:47 PM

I know it's bordering on creepy, and CERTAIN fellow posters have suggested that I verge on the Avid in my attitude to Paul Clarke................................
(the very thought of having him tied up under the stairs for my own personal amusement!!!! I am suddenly VERY warm myself!!

)

HOWEVER, it is funny!

I loved the Alex in the shower clip! He will so hate it when he comes out of the house!

Watch out for Avid on BBLB again

Amy · 11-07-2002, 10:12 PM

I like the new add where Avid is stood outside the house with a banner saying pick me, i am warm

Summer · 12-07-2002, 11:25 AM

Avid really makes me laugh, and I to liked it when he was with Dermot and Spencer, it was so funny when he kept sniffing his hand

I think that the ads on E4 are so funny as well especially the "I keep these all up with my spittle one"
Love

xxxxxxx

Amy · 12-07-2002, 06:47 PM

Did anyone see him on BBLB tonight

I have to say i think Avid is the no1 bb fan and i wonder if he'll get to meet Jade

Avid is WARM

steve_o · 12-07-2002, 06:51 PM

I hope that when Jade come's out, Avid is there to keep her warm on bblb all week.

WILDCHILD · 12-07-2002, 06:53 PM

Yeah, I have to admit he is pretty funny.
Ive never heard of him before - was he famous before or is he just a funny Big Brother fan?

James · 12-07-2002, 08:40 PM

You do all know that he's not real. Don't you?

Anyway, he's played by a guy called Leigh Francis. Avid Merrion featured in sketches on a show called Whatever I Want that was shown on ITV a couple of years ago. In them Avid talked about celebrities that he was obsessively waiting for to get their autograph.

Then he was on a programme called Show Me the Funny on E4 where he actually started to stalk real celebrities and give them strange presents.

Romantic Old Bird · 12-07-2002, 08:45 PM

NOT REAL????

Well, yes, I did guess!

I thought the N0 1 fan he visited on tonights BBLB was tame.

Where was his fully alphabetised and catalogued media library? The BB curtains and duvet cover?
Where was his shrine to Paul Clarke, with it's own little eternal flame flickering like a beacon in the darkness that is BB3?

I mean EVERYONE has at least that much, don't they???

I laugh in the face of such amateurs!!

Amy · 12-07-2002, 10:34 PM

But ROB do you have Nichola's song

steve_o · 12-07-2002, 11:27 PM

Where would we have been without Avid to get us through the dark day's of bb3. I just don't know, hurray for Avid, I know he doesn't suit some people but to me he was the one to replace the lack of humour which was so missing from this years bb. Thank You Avid, your a star.

Amy · 13-07-2002, 08:33 PM

Avids advert about trying to get in the bb house what a laugh

Avid should be in bb4

Pity he didn't have Liz tied up.

Can't make your mind up?

steve_o · 16-07-2002, 06:44 PM

Don't know if this is a new ad but it's the first I've seen of it. Avid pretending to be a bb security guard, he's got the uniform on, and he's telling one of the other security guards to go and check the paramater, instead of the parimiter so he can break into the house.

it doesnt work and he gets man handled away.
