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.
This fucking clip is fucking great,
the fucking original is fucking classic,
but fucking Eccleston's performance is fan-fucking-tastic
