Yes AtW. So that's some other disabled person you've got trussed up in your dungeon.

It's possible. Some people have cause. I believe Joey beat you at Chess and used to bully you at Secondary school, but you can look back on that and smile now. Can't you?

You see that Joey Deacon? That Joey Deacon with the funny voice, dribble and physical impairment? That's your dad that is, that's your dad on his best day.

There was a conspiracy theory that he was in fact not disabled, and put on the act to get a free house.

Edit: from wikipedia

Despite the sensitive way in which Blue Peter covered his life, the impact was not as intended. The sights and sounds of Deacon's distinctive speech and movements had a lasting impact on young viewers, who quickly learnt to imitate them. His name and mannerisms quickly became a label of ridicule in school playgrounds across the country

It did indeed.
