  • This week Rob is joined by actor, comedian, and voice artist Alex Lowe. They chat about the creation of his character Clinton Baptiste for Phoenix Nights with Peter Kay, and Alex’s experience of working with Steve Coogan on This Time With Alan Partridge, including the time he was asked whether he was wearing a prosthetic bum! Rob and Alex also reminisce about when they first met over 15 years ago whilst filming a BBC drama in Malta, and how they got told off by the Director for hiring mopeds on location.

    I've just realised that Alex played Lee Grithiffths the owner of a computer games shop on "Look Around You", the Peter Serafinowicz series (which itself is underrated genius). Barry from Watford is great too. I had absolutely no idea he was Clinton Baptiste! Talk about someone flying under the radar! A huge talent.

    I just don’t understand why he hasn’t gone stratospheric,the character of Clinton Baptiste should be up there with likes of Del Boy,Alan partridge,father Ted etc.
    It’s fucking mind boggling.

    Hi Rob, I'm just wondering if you would consider asking Mark Heap on? IMO, he is one of the most underrated comic actors ever. I often go back to his sketches on Big Train. So exquisite!
    Thanks for the show. Love every one!

    I couldn’t help but let out a big old belly laugh when you said “Blessed by the Goddess of beauty”, as it instantly called to mind dear old Gordon Budge from Slither In! 23 years later, Human Remains is still an exceptional, exemplary piece of work. If anything, compared to a lot of today’s offerings, Human Remains feels more exquisite than ever by comparison.

    I met Alex when he did a show with Angelos locally. He was ridiculously down to earth & very very friendly. He even made me go to his car with him where he nicked a cigarette off me & we had a chat outside the venue as we unloaded his car. 100% gent.

    Lowe has two equally brilliant and completely different comedy characters. Hardly anyone can claim the same. Neither sound alike or sound anything like him. I listen to the Barry and Angelos and Clinton Baptiste podcasts all the time and have done for years and still sometimes forget it's the same person.

    Also looked as if he was pregnant if I'm honest.
