Tony Slattery on Room 101 (1/3)

[Picnicl]

supposed privileges by many people, perhaps because people didn't think that he was quite as stereotypically 'bookish' as some others in that way that British people at the time found so curiously charming. Well, it turns out that he was unsure around the edges. He was not the landed gentry- he was clever and he made it to Cambridge. He didn't deserve unknowledgable, people derriding his part charming, part incisive, type of wit and presentation. Such people foolishly thought him shallow.

[Picnicl]

Tony Slattery had severe depressive illness in the mid 90s- 00s. He has since analysed this: "Perhaps people did sense that, as a person, there was something about me that didn't ring true. That inside this cheeky vaudevillian was something quite dark." In a not dis-similar way to Bob Monkhouse, some people hated his seeming ubiquitousness, his apparent smiley smoothness and supposed 'poshness' (he studied at Cambridge, starred in Peter Friends etc yet was seemingly not 'excused' from his

Love Tony! Sad to see what he went through but hes out the other end luckily. Love him loads

[GrainneMhaol]

Tony was so beautiful back then, it's sad to see him now. Drink/drugs and his mental demons have really run roughshod over him.

[tekqist28]

Is is wrong of me to actually like that song -.-? My admiration for Tony remains intact though

[stupidintellect90]

i can't believe that i was only a year old then....

[queenrocks77]

Hey, Tony's wearing his Tonto jacket! :)

[xxCandyFlossyxx]

ah the old fringe jacket from WL, that should be in Room 101 Tony...I love you though :)

[pockypurse]

Tony's hotel rant reminded me of the holiday rant from Monty Python. xD

[TDWPfan94]

I love Tony!

It would be so kewl to meet him! I saw him on a Grump Old Men interview and he was still Very funny and had that Very lovable quality to him. ^_^

I don't know how long ago that was done, but I still want to meet him!

[CorriRandom]

I love the nice calming music before simon bates falls off the conveyor belt!

[Steflovininxs]

Its THAT Fringe jacket!!! Good choice Tony :P

[tellyisrubbish]

Chocolate on the pillow - another deleted scene from a Pasolini film

[RMGLUCK]

Yes, that was an autobiographical effort if I recall.

[FreestyleGoth]

I haven't seen much of Tony Slattery lately. Does anyone know what he does now?

[kangamoo6]

He's on Kingdom, which I believe is coming back this year for a third season. The other two seasons are on youtube - check them out, he's brilliant!

[FreestyleGoth]

He's on Kingdom? Hm, I'll have to watch that. Thanks for telling me! <3

[kangamoo6]

Oh - beware! He's a bit more coarse than he looks here - don't forget the ten-year gap...

[FreestyleGoth]

I see, so I would have to watch closely to recognise him?

[kangamoo6]

If you've seen him on Grumpy Old Men he'd be a bit more familiar but I'd say it wouldn't be that hard to find him! He's in practically every episode too, and (imo) he does have the best character :D

[FreestyleGoth]

Oh really? I will certainly look for him then! :D

[kangamoo6]

I love Tony exponentially more after seeing this! The rant was brilliant!

[nicolastephen]

Ha ha, Tonys awsome!!! x <3

[2270000]

Oh god hes wearing his cowboy jacket & jeans :p

[hchsband2007]

Tony's rant on British hotels was hilarious!

[LucyferBurton]

[returnofthesosolid]

[Sou1Cru5h]

[Guest1001]

Yeah, television really forgot them ... Nick Hancock hosts one of ITV's most popular gameshows and Tony Slattery supports in Kingdom, a critically-acclaimed drama show.

So yeah, they're totally forgotten. Tit.

[randomer0511]

[ratchen]

[randomer0511]

He sure is!

I love Tony!

[jameroquai]

badhead, i think nick hancock was paul merton's first guest when he (paul) took over.

[iananguspaul]

He probably meant Tony Slattery. I agree seeing Paul and Tony on Whose Line was great.

[vegemeatloaf]

[badhead]

Shame he was not on the show when Paul presented it.

[groovygeorge]

For those watching, it can be improved quite a bit by putting &fmt=18 at the end of the URL. Thanks for the video, Sorma! I've never seen this show before. 8-)
