Yes, the question you've always thought about. Today, for some reason or another, I remembered about that geeky pleb who used to review games back when The Big Breakfast used to be on TV back in the day.

So what did happen to ol' four eyes?

LOL, thats going back to the old zig and zag days.

They brought him back for a few special appearances to review the current crop of consoles, but he admitted that he had gone off games since the old days.

I'd heard he'd gone off the rails with the usual celebrity vices; drink, drugs, sex, rock & roll etc.
For all we know he could be lying in the gutter somewhere, the product of the celebrity machine of living fast and dying young. Or he could be at home knitting a jumper.

He's currently recovering from an atomic wedgie he was subjected to five years ago. He still can't sit down for long periods of time.

I remember him - ah, the good old days, when Big Breakfast was actually decent and still on air...

Anyone remember the old games/films review programme that used to be on ITV at about Dinnertime on a saturday?

How the hell is a rock and roll a vice? You should be shot for that comment.

And I never remember the guy, but then I hardly ever watched TBB.
