Now, in case anybody is wondering, because he hasn't done that much television in Britain, we found Colin in Australia. Colin, in 1994, you won the Perrier award, didn't you? For comedy, at the Edinburgh Fringe?
Yes.
An incredibly distinguished award to win, as [clears throat] I know.
You haven't won the Perrier award, Stephen?
Yes, I did win it.
Oh, you did?
My group was the first to win it ever.
The first?
As it happens, yeah. But, I wonder: who did you beat in 1994? Who came second?
Uh, there were a few other nominees.
[Alan exhales]
Uh, I think the main competition came from a little fellow...
[Alan yawns]
His name was Alan Davies.
Oh, whatever.
Alan Davies, yes.
I went to Melbourne and I stayed at Colin's house and he put the Perrier award on the bedside table.
