Tommy's murky Past
Tommy Boyd was born Thomas Boydon (that is for the criminal records) in Calcutta, India. His father was an amazing genius whose work took him through out the world. Although Tommy's Dad, Stansfield, was undoubtedly intelligent he was also mad and made wild claims like he had invented the question mark. When Tommy came to England at the age of ten he watched the television for the first time and saw the programme Z-Cars and realised his true vocation in life, a policeman. Of course he failed to get into the MET so decided for a life of A-list celebrity status, presenting children's television.
Tommy starts off the day with a healthy bowl of muesli which is quickly followed by a low fat natural yoghurt. He then goes for a quick swim in his indoor pool, usually 5 miles a day is enough to get Tommy warmed up for 2 hours in his customised gym. He keeps in excellent shape and he treats his body like a temple. He spends his afternoon in the local pub where he is affectionately known as "Tommy the fourth emergency service".

Timmy's murky Past
Timmy was born in a stable on the 25th December in Scunthorpe, it was close. He had what is regarded now as a standard upbringing in the usual dysfunctional Jerry Springer inspired nuclear family. At an early age Timmy found extreme pleasure in shouting "blahh" and hitting people over the head with foam mallets. At the age of fourteen Timmy was scarred for life when, accidentally the safety mallet was switched to a real loaded one, which maimed one of Timmy's closest school bullies.
Timmy gets up around 5am every day except when he is not working (it is only a Saturday programme). He swaps his bedtime pink baseball hat for his pink daytime one and does his voice exercise in the mirror. He then wipes the mirror clean and goes to eat a hearty breakfast. Much of Timmy's day is taken up with his knew recording career which apparently is coming along splendidly. Timmy cites inspiration from the likes of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, REM and is heavily into the Motown era. His first musical outing will be titled 'Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Poka Dot Bikini'.
BBC Online publications (he is hoping to join the corporation for an excessive Vanessa Feltz style sum)
Timmy enjoys watching television and frequently watches the box for inspiration in his work as he is always looking for ways to improve and evolve his act, last year he changed the colour of his mallet.
