"Francis was "discovered" by television presenter Davina McCall, who got him regular appearances on MTV UK. This kick-started his television career."
Are you sure? Francis did characters on a T4 programme called Buzz in 1999 (http://www.music-bx.co.uk/buzz.htm) and was on a regular comedy sidekick in the early days of Popworld. I'm not sure Avid Merrion didn't debut on a E4 series called Show Me The Funny (which Jimmy Carr also got his TV break on). He did do MTV slots, but I'm fairly sure this was only recently.
Tne Bear is not based on Ronnie Corbett, this is proved on the Bo' Selecta Series 2 DVD when on the commentary the show producer says that it is not based on Ronnie Corbett. Any similarity is mere coincidence.
What's the source of his name? The Leeds shopping centre or his old teacher. Needs clarification. RedHillian 01:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
