Little boy gets wish to drive around in Gary Numan’s car (1982)

Last night Richard and I watched the Awfully Good TV special hosted by Little Britain’s David Walliams. It’s one of those clip shows of “so bad that it’s good” TV moments that normally aren’t that great, but this one actually was hilarious. I nearly peed myself when this clip came on. A kid named Matthew wrote in to the Jim’ll Fix It TV show and asked the host (Jimmy Saville) if he could “fix it” so that Matthew could drive around in Gary Numan’s “Down in the Park” car. And Jim came through! Watch as young Matthew, in crap shades, takes a little ride as Numan croons “Music for Chameleons.”

Matthew actually chimed in on the YouTube comments, writing:

All I can say is…HAHAHAHAHA…can’t stop laughing because that miserable kid is me! Blame the BBC for making me put those stupid glasses on just before filming…I hated them but they thought they looked futuristic. *ahem*

Apart from that had an ace day.

They wanted me to look spooky…but my grumpy face was just me being mardy and also scared. The jacket is too small for me these days, not that I’d ever wear it out for fear of damaging it.

.
The clip of Boy George on The A-Team was also from that program to give credit there, too.

Read the letter from Matthew and watch the hysterical video from Jim’ll Fix it below:
