I have, what I call, The Bastard Collection. Some examples: I've found stuff like a rare Filthy, Rich & Catflap promo still print, nearly all variation of Neil's vinyls, Monsters of Rock & Bad News tour programmes to even a video game! This is a fine addition to the collection.☺️

The postie has delivered something really cool! My Bad News t shirt from the man, the myth, the legend himself, @NigelPlaner1! This has made my week! Bad News were some of the coolest guys out there so to have this in my hands, is really special to me. Can't wait for the book! 🤩

@PodCatflappo @AdrianEdmondson Thank you so much, Jeff! I'm so happy this show is well remembered & celebrated. This all came from a daft thought on my way to work one day. 'Wouldn't it be funny?' 😂 I'm so glad I got to make it a reality! So I've now got a shirt for special occasions, in true Catflap style!😂

[Zoe Read @Zoe_Read]

Eddie Catflap, the world's worst minder, at your service! Played by @AdrianEdmondson, this guy loves nothing more than lager frenzy, protecting (or not bothering to) his boy Richie & being a miserable sod to be around. The shirt & costume was made by myself and a joy to cosplay.

@Brighterdayvnl No future! 🤩 I've always wanted a copy of this vinyl, ever since I started collecting! I will gladly give it a loving home!

@Sonicsamstan Get yourself down to a charity shop, denim jackets are easy to get hold of and rip it to shreds. Make it as unique as you like! BAM! 🤘🏻😎

[Zoe Read @Zoe_Read]

@Sonicsamstan Oh yeah! Think it might be the denim jacket 😅

@PodCatflappo @NigelPlaner1 Filthy might be one of my all time favourite comedy characters! He's so excellently portrayed and, in my opinion, gets majority of the best lines in Filthy, Rich & Catflap! I've even thought of potentially doing a spin on his character to play in a DnD campaign!

I often wonder what Rick would make of it all

@Lazbotron @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Because I have no self control, I binged the entire new series in a night. Even though you guys made me shed a tear (no fair!😭), I loved every minute of it. Every series you guys have made has stayed consistently amazing & I'm always excited to see what you do next. Well done!👏🏻

Still recovering from @NORCON_! What a crazy experience, dressing up as Neil to meet the wonderfully lovely @NigelPlaner1. Hope you enjoyed Neil's can of lentils! Something tells me Neil dropped the label in last night's supper before putting them on the can... ✌️#Norcon

💥I give you... THE BASTARD SQUAD!💥 Finally put the photos all together. Had quite a few people refuse to believe it's me as Neil and now I'm kinda starting to believe them! 😂✌️Proud of every one of these cosplays. ❤️ #RikMayall @NigelPlaner1 @AdrianEdmondson #TheYoungOnes

@KayBrow5857997 Thank you!! 😁✌️

Interaction 1:
"Are you an candidate?"
"No, no! Have you seen #TheNewStatesman?
"OH! Well I wouldn't vote for you but your costume is fabulous!"

Interaction 2:
"I was about to tell you off for being a Tory but realised who you were! The costume is amazing!"

[Zoe Read @Zoe_Read]

Biggest majority in the house. Here's my cosplay of everyone's favourite hate to love it Tory, Alan B'Stard (#RikMayall) from #TheNewStatesman. 🇬🇧 I had nothing but fun with this, people even recognised the costume while on location! Made my year! @mauricegran #LaurenceMarks

[Zoe Read @Zoe_Read]

@mjsimpsonfilms These are so cool! Thank you for sharing these, I've never seen any images from the Bad News gigs like this before. Love the banner they had up 😂 and how amazing you got to meet them!

"Hello, would you like a cup of herbal tea?" - Neil (@NigelPlaner1) #TheYoungOnes. Here's my totally HEAVY cosplay of the beloved hippie Neil. Had a lot of fun putting this costume together and even more fun walking around where I live making people do double takes! 😁✌️

Someone tell Liz Truss that Alan B’Stard was not a real politician
