...As I said, my character's nick-name was "Jean" because 1) his very blonde hair and 2) his surname. If you've seen any of the other pages in this site, you know that I am about as blonde as Dwain Chambers.
Hence the visits to this extremely expensive salon where only organic, natural products were to be used on my hair to turn it a beautiful shade of gold. As you can see from the only picture I have from that period, it certainly turned it something. It was so bright, it had to be sprayed brown for the filming. As it was, my nickname only was mentioned three times in six hours of television. You would have thought that, having cast me in the role, they would simply got out their Tippex and come up with something else, but, no, they decided to spend three hundred pounds turning me into Darren Day.
