Reece's on stage!
In Betty Blue Eyes.
Musical based on Alan Bennett's A Private Function, in the part previously played by Michael Palin. Which hopefully sets to rest his fears that he will end up The League's Eric Idle

I just can't afford it right now. Didn't get to see him in The Producers either, although that was because we turned up on a day when he had strained a muscle. Saw the remarkably Tom Goodman-Hill as Peter Cook though. Swoon. But I've always loved a ginger.

Reece is probably in a lot of things you just don't get to see. Catterick, Spaced, Agatha Christie, Max & Paddy, TLC (which I can only find on YouTube in German?!) He does work a lot for the Beeb and they control their content TIGHTLY.

But yes, Pemby turns up a lot because he has a good eye for a script, so it gets repeated muchly. First series of Shameless, Blackpool (did you have this already? a singing David Tennant), Dr Who of course, Benidorm, Whitechapel et al.

ETA, not to denigrate the others!
I have a lovely semi-drunk convo with Dyson when dressed as a vampire.
I was so careful not to quote League lines - and especially not those from their excellent commentaries, that I may have been a bit stiff.

Gattiss is my real hero and I've only ever spoken to him via Q&A on stage.
