Kit cat club, my thoughts exactly, until i did a search for him. Apparently, he's a darts commentator for sky tv. an observer interview with him here: http://www.observer.co.uk/osm/story/0,6903,417423,00.html
and a discussion on his 'genius' and the themes of jossies giant's here: http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=005pP4

Hmm- bloody hell... That's almost like finding out the voice of Shaggy from Scooby-doo is Casey Casem of America's TopTen.

All I can say is Holy Shit. I never knew anyone else even bloody remembered this show. To find out he is a legendary commentator on the same level as Murray is amazing. I listened to the darts, but I never realised.

Wasn't the theme tune something like:

'They're called Jossie's Giant's Football's just a brand of science.'

And then had something about 'Burning the candle both ends' before hitting the chorus again. :)

Ye God's.

Does anyone else remember Johnnie Briggs? :D
