I am a huge fan of Andrew Stone. He first popped up on the Sky One ‘documentary’ series Pineapple Dance Studios. It was a vehicle designed to launch Louis Spence into the mainstream, and in that respect it was successful. But for me, Stone was the real star. At first I was laughing at him, but as the show progressed, I began to see there was more to this man, a kind of sadness. He was desperate to make it, maybe too desperate, and I felt for him. I could see how important being a ‘star’ meant to him, and it was quite apparent he was never going to make it on his terms.

But, he has made it in some sense. He was recently on Celebrity Big Brother. Sure, he got kicked out first, but the fact he was asked means he has earned his place in British popular culture.

I’ve met him a few times, and while his eyes are constantly darting over your shoulder to see if there is someone behind you who can help further his career, I liked him. In fact, there is nothing wrong with that. If I’d had that attitude, maybe I wouldn’t be sat in my spare room now writing a ‘blog about Andrew Stone. Maybe I’d actually be working. How’s about them apples?

Yesterday, after being in the This Morning green room, and splicing a conversation I was having with someone (it was about Andrew) and overhearing a chance comment (‘I watched Romancing the Stone last night’) I came up with a fun game for Twitter. Let’s make up shows for Andrew Stone. My first one was of course, Romancing the Stone, where several girls take Andrew Stone out for dinner. The winner DOESN’T get to sleep with him.

I thought that would be that, but it turns out you were all up for a laugh as well and I had hundreds of replies. Some f them were absolutely hilarious and had me laughing out loud. I thought it only fair to share them with you as some of you eejots aren’t on Twitter! WTF! LOL. If you are, you can follow me on @iainlee

But I digress. Here are my favourite shows for Andrew Stone.
