I love Jimmy Nail... I loved him as Oz in "Auf Wiedersehen Pet", all three series and now I love him as a singer. As Oz, he was such a wonderful character - and apparently he'd had no acting experience at all - he was no looker, with his huge snoz and beefy looks. The entire cast was brilliant with each person having his own character and most of them going on to star in other tv or film. The other brilliant actor there was Timothy Spall. But Timothy can't sing, as far as I know."Big River" is a beautiful ballad and the story is so interesting. Don't you just love that slightly gravelly voice?

So, our Jimmy isn't the prettiest bloke on the block, but that's what he was like. Then all of a sudden we see a different Jimmy Nail as seen by the PR people, and doesn't he look pretty now...
