From TV movie "Strumpet" (2001), Christopher Eccleston performing John Cooper Clarke's poem "Evidently Chickentown". Beware of the language!

  • But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see.

  • @DylHsu I know that really. I was just making a joke about Chapeltown, which the poem could've just as easily been about.

  • @WhoIsBaz No, Chickentown is about Salford and Greater Manchester, where Clarke grew up.

  • @DylHsu I suspect that Cooper Clarke wrote this about Chapeltown (in Leeds), then changed the name to avoid being shot in retaliation.

  • Hmm, the Doctor sure has a potty mouth. :P

  • ...BLOODY GOOD CHRIS...BLOODY GOOD...

  • Over the top! Full stop

  • Fucking champion. Chris Ecc reminds me of the young Chris Crick in Crook (Evidently Chicken Town).

  • chris that was just spot on to life this is chicken town 10 times better than the original

  • @steste2128 Yes, I know John Cooper Clarke did it originally.  I was attempting a bit of shite wordplay with Eccleston having played The Doctor. Hence, John Who-per Clarke, get it?

    I didn't say it was a good joke, mind.
