Christmas Day, TOTP 2002. Near the beginning, they flashed up 93 different music acts, all of them from the last couple of years - Samantha Mumba, Sum 41, Liberty X, etc. And, in there with the rest of them, for a second or two, a very familiar face.... And then later, in case the audience was dying of boredom while Enrico Iglesias was singing Hero (again), they ran the 93 names across the bottom of the screen. Someone at TOTP is quite sure that Gary will reappear in the eyes of the general public before long! And my sister-in-law asked me if I had watched that programme about cars (Sky Channel? No, terrestrial, but she couldn't remember the name of it!! She said that Gary had been on, and talked about his cars. She said he had two - a TVR and a Smart car, and said how important the Smart car was for the environment. My sister-in-law was well impressed - he had a lot of sensible things to say, etc. Clearly, up until that moment, she had thought of Gary as a one-dimensional character, and I actually think that's how most British people see him, until they watch him in an interview! Which is why it's important that Gary keeps appearing on all these shows...
