Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show

So having seen the previous two episodes of Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show on BBC3, and presumably got hooked, I imagine you would’ve tuned in for the third episode which was broadcast on Thursday 24th June. Some kind individual has uploaded it to Youtube, so you can check me out putting some questions to Simon Brodkin’s Jason Bent character after about 5:30.

This was shot in Greenwich in early March, and as there was a lot of timing to get right in the sketch I think we did in excess of 20 takes. I have never been more cold. Also, as my glasses were too recognisable from the previous sketch I’d been in, I was asked to remove them, but as I had no contact lenses I was essentially sightless. Professional through and through though, me.

If you happened to be watching Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show on BBC3 on Thursday 17th July, you would’ve seen the stern looking bald gentleman in the photograph above. This was a very small role I had on the General Medical Council at a hearing for Simon Brodkin’s character Dr.Bob and his serious medical misconduct trial. The man in the middle is a very nice guy called Steve Box, but I have to confess I’ve forgotten the lady’s name.

All the Dr.Bob stuff was filmed in a disused hospital in Hemel Hempstead, which meant a very early start, but was also quite spooky!

I’ve just done a couple of days filming for Simon Bodkin’s new show, Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show which should be on BBC3 later in the year. I did a bit for his Dr Bob character, and had some lines as a journalist for his premiership footballer character, Jason Bent. Should be really funny, and hopefully I won’t be cut out!

Here’s a clip of him doing Jason Bent:
