  • John Shuttleworth’s Back (after Lockdown) - In 2020 Filmmaker Matt Holt started work on a short documentary film with actor/musician Graham Fellows as he began his latest John Shuttleworth tour. Then Covid struck! Theatres across the UK went into lockdown and the film took a different turn. As all future shows are placed on hold, Graham remains at home reflecting on the new situation all performers find themselves facing. So join us ‘back stage’ and ‘back home’ with Graham - and his creation John Shuttleworth - in this reflective and whimsical study of their unique relationship, touring and growing older together.

    Been listening to John Shuttleworth from the beginning, one of the funniest comedies ever. Graham is genius.

    Only recently realised I’m becoming more like John, contented by the small things in life. Just returned from camping with Hector whippet on the Lincs coast and I have a metal mug that is one and a half times there size of a normal mug. This way I can save gas by only brewing up once.

    I met John after a show in Preston. Way back - think it was the same night that Series 2 of Juliet Bravo was being repeated on one of the cable channels. He came out to sign autographs but confided in me that he was secretly Asda bound, wanted to see if he could get a small bottle of Camp coffee and a tube of Germolene, just for emergencies; and as there was a 24 hour facilitation, he thought he might avail himself of the generous concession.
    Nice fella

      Yep I've met him after shows too. All floppy wet hair and with that 'after gig' look of energy spent. Such a good bloke as you say and in real life has his values and priorities and so forth all in the right place.

    I met Mr Shuttleworth st a book signing in the 1990s . I gifted him a box of cotton buds so that he could clean his tape heads. He was thrilled.

    In case people don't know, there are over 30 of the Shuttleworth radio shows available to listen to now on BBC Radio 4 Extra. I saw him perform once in Liverpool back in the 90s. I took a packet of Locketts with me in case he needed one.

    Is there any video of Graham putting the radio shows together? The way the characters talk over each other, and the timing between them is just impeccable. I’d love to see how he constructs these mini works of art.

    • @davidsanderson5918
      @davidsanderson5918 Рік тому +1

      Ha ha. That's what EVERYONE wants to see, don't they?? And I would bet that Graham Fellows will NEVER show himself in the recording process. As you say it's incredible craftsmanship and boggles the mind how he does it, but it would be giving his secrets away!!
      I wouldn't even say that this is his house!! I'm sure this is staged. And why not?
      Graham lives on one of the Orkney Islands. At least that's what I thought. Ha ha.

    Last saw him in 95 and I must see him again before I kick the bucket. I think I saw him dressed as Graham once walking through Sheffield walking down division st. The penny dropped who it was once he’d passed me.

    I had more or less forgotten about John, until about 10 years ago my wife opened a second tub of flora.
    She wanted to know why I was laughing at that, and when I introduced her to John, she also became a firm fan.
    We saw him (again) in Belfast on Monday past. He's an oasis of calm in a turbulent world.

    I might be the only person to ever have been asked to leave a John Shuttleworth gig!. My son has aspergers and wouldn't stop asking questions and it pissed other audience members off no end. I fed him sweets but I couldn't make him shut up and people got angry. He kept asking 'Is John Shuttleworth John Shuttleworth's real name?' 'Did he really buy a toaster on ebay?' 'Was Michael Jackson Michael Jackson's real name?' etc etc
