C4 Chat Ed : Way hay! Hello and welcome, let's kick off, shall we?

Peter Kay : Right then, ready when you are.
mogwai1977 : Are you a Bolton fan? Have you been to the game tonight?
Peter Kay : No I'm not. I'm overweight. Mentally scarred by football as a child. I was busy playing off ground tig instead of playing football, or chasing that stray alsatian off the pitch.
Peter Kay chuckles

deadmanjones : Did everybody at The Neptune know what was going on? How did you arrange for the audience, offer them all a bag of pork scratchings and thus bus fare home?
Peter Kay : Noooo, we plied them with half price drinks! They thought the talent show was dreadful.

Gomez : Do you have a cliched anecdote about being 'funny' in the school playground to stop the big boys picking on you?
Peter Kay : No. Forget that. That's crap.

Sanjay : Is it true you are a huge fan of 'The Prodigy'?
Peter Kay : Heh. No! Next.
Peter Kay grins

X-MAN : would you consider posing for playboy?
Peter Kay : I already have.

Rokket : What do you think of all the top class Stand-up comedians like Lee Evans?
Peter Kay : That's a crap question!

jaysea_303 : if you were featured in a celebrity death match, who would be your ideal opponent?
Peter Kay : General Pinochet.

Krisarino : Peter, do you have any personal experience of performing in working men's clubs and was this the inspiration for tonight's spoof?
Peter Kay : Er... yes... and yes.. :) On Saturday night I am playing what used to be Bernard Manning's world famous Embassy Club in Manchester.

DavidLees : What effect did The Prodigy have on your new show? Are there any Prodge songs featured?
Peter Kay : No, no and no. Nooooooo.

Damon1 : how long did it take you to write the series then
Peter Kay : Errr, six months. With two fantastic writers, and best friends, Dave Spikey (the compere in tonight's episode) and Neil Anthony (in episode 4, the arena).

Gomez : Which character in the series is most 'you'?
Peter Kay : Patrick O'Neil, in next week's episode! 'Eyes Down', it's called. I'm basically playing myself as I did when I used to work at a bingo hall. In Bolton.

jaysea_303 : what was your last job before being a comediane
Peter Kay : Cinema usher. I used to rip tickets, and tell people the ends of films when they were coming in.
Peter Kay grins

Crys : ARGH, I haven't seen that!!
Banzai Barber III : Awwww man! I haven't seen that yet!
Jonathan : now that is EVIL

Banzai Barber III : Does Peter remember his old music teacher Mr. Bottomley? He was our teacher and says he remembers you.
Peter Kay : I do too! Tell him to give me a ring, I want to learn the piano and I'm serious! I'm getting married next year and I want it to be a surprise.
C4 Chat Ed : phew blowing away some 'Peter Kay MYths' tonight...

cash : Does Peter see himself appearing in films or writing/making film
Peter Kay : I hope so. As my sister needs a new central heating system...

ianm : do you get people approaching you and suggesting jokes you can use?
Peter Kay : Yes, all the time. Got any?

Nick-Boogie : Has Peter Kay killed anyone like the Krays?
Peter Kay : Dear Nick-Boogie, we've had a whip-round, and we've got your life.

ERV2000 : Saying that Bruce Willis is a ghost, just saved me 8.50 at the cinema, do I make the cheque payable to Peter Kay.
ianm : in your opinion, who's the most famous person you've met
Peter Kay grins at Erv
Peter Kay : Ian... erm... Yoda.


Pople : Why were you so crap in the Sunday Show and suddenly come up with something as subtle and clever as this?
Peter Kay : Erm, because I was getting more money? No, no :) Only as far as we reach can we grow...
Peter Kay chuckles to himself

Tobes79 : Were you a fan of Bullseye? - i bet you know someone who won the speedboat

Banzai Barber III : It's true: Sunday ISN'T Sunday without a bit of Bully!
Peter Kay : 'Don't worry, you're not going away empty-handed, you've got your Brass Tankards and your Bendy Bullies!'
Peter Kay giggles
Peter Kay : Jesus, thanks Jim, there's us thinking we'd lost !

Applejack : Is playing characters just dressing up for adults?
Peter Kay : That's a bit deep! Go out, kiss a girl!
foolish : do you dress up when you're not on stage? *nudge nudge*
Peter Kay : Yes don't we all
Peter Kay : ?
Peter Kay : Otherwise we'd all be walking around naked?
