For someone who has such great comic timing as an actor, he seems like an endearingly shy and awkward human being.

Fair observation. I found myself skimming through to see if he appeared more interested but to me he seemed to come across as though his mind was elsewhere. Fantastic comedy actor, it has to be said.

Over the decades I've watched SO many people in comedy reveal themselves as being rather shy people. On the whole I'd say the majority are that way actually. They pump up a persona for their day job but when off duty.....very different indeed!!

I met Mr Matt a few times when I lived in London. We have mutual friends in Stuart Silver and Kim Noble (both were also in Garth Marenghi). The first thing he did in the street... was point at my lapel and shout "thhhhat's A Nice Badge" (it was a David Bowie "Sound and Vision" thing). He's funny, and when isn't being funny, is even unfortunately even funnier and nice. For me he's so right about those initial childhood memories of Pop and Music. I remember watching Freddie at Live Aid and thought he was just an energetic cheeky plumber who scrubbed up very well.

Brilliant! Fascinating to find out about Matt's musical side - especially as a home recording enthusiast who's also had a go at playing everything myself! Just for nerds who care for such detail - the pedal Jean Michel gave Matt is an Electro Harmonix Small Stone phaser, incidentally also featured on Radiohead's OK Computer, one of Matt's other favourite bands. Jean Michel used two of them on Oxygene, in stereo, so he must have kept one of them...

a lot of '70s/80s theme tunes were done exactly as Matt described his versions but you only heard the bits actually used over the titles/credits. First 30s or so was for the opening titles and the last bit for the closing credits, with a minute or so of weird mis-matched wig-out in the middle. e.g. Two Ronnies. i have several saved from nostalgia sites like TV Cream etc. but originally would've been released on LPs. Regarding the BBC they were often Big Band-style (think of Ronnie Hazlehurst etc.) but late-'70s/early '80s a lot came from the Radiophonic Workshop. Many tunes were composed by Richard Denton & Martin Cook
