I've been a fan of Eddie Izzard for a long time now – his seemingly random (but covertly calculated) humour appeals strongly to me in a similar way to The Mighty Boosh. So spotting him out in London fills me with glee, as he's been in the States for so long touring and filming The Riches. The lovely Eddie's been back in the UK partly to visit his childhood home in Sidley and to present an award to his father John Izzard for the work he has done in his local community during his retirement. How lovely is that?
