We first saw Graham Fellows as Jilted John on Top of the Pops in 1978 and we've followed his characters ever since, especially drawn to the keyboard-prodding, car-coated John Shuttleworth and his deathless pop anthems ‘Pigeons In Flight', ‘Up And Down Like A Bride's Nightie' and ‘I Can't Go Back To Savoury Now'. Graham talks here about how and why he created them (and rock media studies lecturer Brian Appleton) and his new book ‘John Shuttleworth Takes The Biscuit', along with … the allure of romantic punk rock (Patrik Fitzgerald, Buzzcocks, the Undertones), Sheffield mouse-breeders, comic melancholy, whether Northern humour is funnier than Southern, kissing Debbie Harry for a publicity shot, the advice his father gave him and the finer details of the Shuttleworth live experience.

Episode 11, Season 2. Join us as we talk to Graham Fellows, the man behind wannabe songsmith and performer John Shuttleworth, who has hits such as "Two Margarines" and "I Can't Go Back To Savoury Now". Also famous for the hit "Jilted John", as himself, Graham is an actor, writer and musician in his own right. Why is fitness an issue and Oasis get a mention too. We take a road trip to Mayfair in London to catch up with Graham before his John Shuttleworth "Raise The Oof" tour, and we remembered the Hatty Cuff this time. Hosted by Stuart Hardman, with #stu2 trying to get a word in when he can.John Shuttleworth's Tour LinkGraham Fellows WebsiteGraham's FacebookJohn Shuttleworth's FacebookHardman & Hemming TailorsGet Shirty PatreonLinks to DatHazza, the music man!YouTube SoundcloudLinktree
This week we welcome Graham Fellows, the man behind both Jilted John & John Shuttleworth, for a cheeky chinwag about his legendary career in music and television. Yamaha and Casio keyboards feature heavily in this chat, as does John's dog Kirsty. Throughout our conversation, Graham pokes fun while I try not to laugh, as we cover such meteoric subjects as; doorstep drinks deliveries in the 1970s, the possibility of John doing ASMR videos on TikTok, why podcasts should never be over-edited, and how a song lyric earned him an almost lifetime supply of Bounty bars. We chat about his appearances on 'Top of The Pops' as Jilted John, how that character was formed as a reaction to the punk singers of the time, and how after signing a publishing deal, he accidentally created John Shuttleworth on the same day. I explain how I nabbed a job selling Yamaha keyboards in Harrods, even though I couldn't play a note, while Graham divulges why his keyboards sometimes stop working on stage, leading to unplanned comic moments. We also cover his collaboration with Count Arthur, his appearances on the Leslie Grantham-helmed 'Paradise Club' and Jonathan Ross's Saturday Night Zoo, and why, as a kid, he would have loved to have hung out with The Monkees.All music written and performed in this podcast by Steve Otis Gunn.*Except 'My Wife Died in 1970' written by Graham FellowsPlease buy my book 'You Shot My Dog and I Love You' available in all good book shops, online and directly.Podcast Socials:Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tvtimespodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@tvtimespodInsta: https://www.instagram.com/tvtimespodBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tvtimespod.bsky.socialX: https://x.com/tvtimespod (reluctantly)Steve's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/steveotisgunnFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/steveotisgunn.antisocialGraham & John's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/johnshuttlewrthX: https://x.com/johnshuttlewrthFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/johnshuttlewrth/?locale=en_GBYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk1GY2WmzYUSZaowoYdvYdgProduced by Steve Otis Gunn for Jilted Maggotwww.jiltedmaggot.com Hosted on Acast.

They chat about the unlikely genesis of Jilted John and what Jimmy Savile thought of him and what it was like to finally take him on tour (John not Jimmy) , how John Shuttleworth emerged also by accident, what it’s like when you become older than the character Graham you play, whether it’s possible to be taken seriously as a musical artist when you’re known for comedy creations, how drive lessens as you get older and the terrifying loss of confidence that saw Graham have to run away from the Fringe.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Become a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITESee details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATESBuy DVDs and Books from GO FASTER STRIPE See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In Pursuit of Butterflies - A Fifty-Year Affair is published by Bloomsbury Publishing. William McLellan is an artist, writer and musician. His memoir How I got into Art School (and out of prison) tells the story of his imprisonment in the notorious Modelo jail in Barcelona in 1972.

How I Got Into Art School (and out of prison) is published by Old Street Publishing. Kate Waters - also known as Kombat Kate - is a fight director.
