Those crazy sock puppets (the ones that duetted with Dean Friedman) have been short-listed for some bizarre BBC talentfest that involves spending six hours in a glass box in Bristol. The Beeb describe it a bit better than that, but not much…

It seems that we will be able to watch the victims winners via streaming, if we haven’t got anything else better to do).

The man behind the Socks (Kev F) is apparently responsible for introducing zombies into the Beano, & not just any zombies, but The Bash Street Zombies! (Click on the cartoon for a large scan, found in the comments section of his MySpace.)

Anyway, despite having twenty shows coming up over the next few months, it seems that he is keen to have a side-trip over to Bristol. Give him a vote, if you think he deserves it, you can take that either way! (I think you may have to register though).

Maybe he’d like to sing Lucky Stars with Denise Marsa one day, but he’ll have to learn Dean’s part…
