===Celebrity callers=== *[[Peter Cook]] made a series of calls with the pseudonym "Sven from Swiss Cottage", a Norwegian fisherman who had come to London looking for romance and to escape the fish-obsessed phone-ins of Norway. Over time, Cook created an elaborate story of Sven's attempts to find love, or to find his estranged wife, often claiming to call from remote parts of the world where he believed his wife may have gone. These have been recorded in "Tragically I Was An Only Twin", a collection of his writings and are also available on Bull's subscription podcast. Peter Cook's former neighbour [[Rainbow George Weiss]] remained a regular caller with news of his political activities.<ref name="lbc">[http://www.lbc.co.uk/sectional.asp?id=13351 LBC Radio<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071117100826/http://lbc.co.uk/sectional.asp?id=13351 |date=17 November 2007 }}</ref> *[[Michael Barrymore]] once phoned in to take part in a talent contest as himself.
