I had a friend at school who sounded exactly like Badger and would constantly turn down requests to say “mashed potato”
The rare occasions where he would agree to do it were wonderful.

Ah, that’s a shame (the photo on that BBC article is tremendous though). RIP

Aye, that really surprised me
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an eclectic bunch of things I’ve never known in one paragraph.
Mr Cunningham, who read English at Cambridge, gave comedian Julian Clary his first job when he was writing and directing for the Covent Garden Community Theatre Group, and he worked as a puppeteer in the Star Wars film Return of the Jedi.

i was talking the other day about when bodger (& badger I guess) worked at Chessington World of Adventures - I’m still not sure if this was an actual plotline of the two things just happened to conflate in my mind based on them being in my life at the same time
anyway, used to find badger hilarious as a kid - sad news.
Me: Oh, Andy from Bodger and Badger has died
TV: That’s sad. Which one was he?
