      Coogan is the master at making characters sound as if they are real people. Like Bill Oddie. By calling him Oddie it's a pun of sorts as it makes the reader think of the words "bit odd-y", because he's a bit odd.
      His descriptions of Edmonds are also first class. I imagine he based the Edmonds character on Richard Branson.

    Noel Edmonds' dad was a history teacher and deputy head at my secondary school in the 1960s. One day he brought his teenage son to school and introduced him to the class. I'm not sure why but Mr Edmonds (who was a nice man and popular teacher) was clearly proud of his son's burgeoning talents. The rest is history!
