'I just hope everyone loves it'
Comedian Alan Carr has said he "wanted to create Northampton’s own The Crown" in his new show. The comic has often spoken about his life growing up in 1980s Northampton, the son of the town's football manager Graham.
That is looking likely, considering the nation’s love for Carr as one of our most successful and treasured comedians. The Chatty Man presenter – who teamed up with writer Simon Carlyle for the piece – will lead the ensemble cast as himself in the present day. Whether that was his sexual awakenings, his daily battle with bullies or navigating the highs and lows of fourth-division football. He said: "I was getting bullied. Not all the time. I was annoying. I don’t blame the bullies.
"He got it just right. He wasn’t like a seagull operating a fax machine… he was spot on with the intelligence, the timing and everything. We closed the door, jumped for joy, and we said, ‘We got him’.” As for Dooley and Sullivan, meeting the real Graham and Christine was a highlight. "Let’s just say that Alan is the quiet one when you’re with Alan’s family – you totally see where he’s come from!” muses Sullivan, 38.
