interestingly it was brian may that rightly gave JB the name 'the GUV'NER' ' i think it was when they collaberated on the muddy waters tribute album by Paul Rodgers (of Free, bad comapny fame)
well thats because he is the inspiration for nigel tufnell lol kinda
here's the very clip that i think the actor based his character on
also JB was involved in sequel, he has a huge sense of humour, listen to many comic strip presents music, hes on the plane in the episode where they hi jack plane go to south america, as well as the sound track, i think he did the music for free as there were his mates, specially lenny henry and dawn french
