Transcript

00:00 Oh, famous person in Liverpool, Craig Charles.

00:04 Red Dwarf.

00:07 He's from Cali Farm.

00:10 Small lad.

00:13 He was a good footballer.

00:15 Mostly at the Empire Theatre, Holyo Cast and everything.

00:19 It's just like, the girl who murdered someone was like,

00:21 "Oh my God, it's the girl who murdered the girl of the poison!"

00:24 Frankie Vaughan.

00:28 This wasn't around Liverpool, it was down here, Cast Iron Show.

00:31 Many years ago.

00:32 Nice man.

00:34 Really nice man.

00:35 Take time out, talk to you.

00:37 In Liverpool, I try to keep out the rain, don't bother people.

00:42 And I said to him,

00:44 "Alright, Craig, you lad?"

00:47 He said, "You don't recognise me, do you?"

00:50 Because he's television and all that.

00:57 I said, "Steve Young from Cali Farm, I play football with you mates.

01:00 You're in Red Dwarf."

01:02 Bands and singers from Liverpool have had number one hits

01:06 in every decade since the UK music charts were launched.

01:09 Meaning there's more than a fair few famous faces who hail from the city.

01:14 In fact, Liverpool has a staggering roll call of trailblazing

01:17 entertainers, musicians, sports people, writers, poets, artists and comedians.

01:24 Comic-Con Liverpool is one of Europe's largest pop culture conventions.

01:28 The main attraction every year is of course the star guests.

01:31 I think with Comic-Con, it's like a treat.

01:35 But you see a celebrity now on the street, it's rare.

01:38 But with the Comic-Con experience, you get more out of it.

01:42 Especially the classics from the 90s and all that.

01:45 It'd be annoying for them.

01:46 "Oh, I remember this, I remember that."

01:48 They'd probably hear the same thing over and over again.

01:51 I'd just leave them alone.

01:53 Yeah, I would love to go to Comic-Con.

01:55 Especially if the tickets weren't that expensive.

01:57 I'm just not as progressive. (laughs)
