Future…. Just call me Barry Pigeon!!!
And in the third and final post on this Christmas eve, I’d like to look ahead to what’s coming up!
I’ve had the pleasure of filming a web series, Barry Pigeon Protects, recently – it will hit your computer screens in January, but there will be a taster online Christmas day so subscribe to Barry on Twitter to keep up to date with all the latest. It’s a funny account to follow.
It’s funny and poignant and was a lot of fun to shoot, so stay tuned….
Here’s a few pics as a wee taster of what’s to come…
And that’s it my dears!
Wishing you all the best for this Festive season and stay tuned for Barry in 2016!
Love and cuddles to Bex, Mum, the kids… and all of you, always

Present… Our Xmas Single! Call me Dave Teabag
In my second post of the Yuletide Season, I’ll share what’s happening in the present…..
I have joined up with a local bloke known as Tommy Teabag, changed my name to Dave Teabag, and we’ve done our first video release especially for Christmas.
Going under the name of The Yorkshire Teabaggers, we’ve recorded our take on the Christmas classic, Fairytale of New York, but given it a Yorkshire twist and renamed it Hairy Tale of New York(shire).
We’ve had a huge response on our Facebook Page and on YouTube as well… I share it with you now to spread the love from Yorkshire this Christmas.
All filmed locally at The Railway, Wadsley Bridge, Sheffield, just down the road from The Trafalgar Fisheries mentioned in the last post. Jean serves a fine pint, so get down there!
And finally, as a little Christmas gift to you, I’d like to share something I’ve recorded for family and friends, with a special Christmas wish for my children, Benjamin, Sophie and Joseph.
Merry Christmas to all! And to all, a good night!
love, Dave x
Past…. Just call me Mr P Fritter!
Greetings of the season to you all!
My apologies for being a bad blogger of late, I haven’t updated in ages, and now, like buses, three will come at once, so keep your eyes peeled and stick your hand out if you want me to stop. Correct change please!
In the spirit of A Christmas Carol, I will break these down into Past, Present and Future. This, as the title suggests, is a post about the past…
As you will know, I had a brief appearance on Coronation St in October – for those who missed it, here it is again….
Always nice to have a bit on the telly and funny the reactions you get afterwards.
I have the best Fish & Chips shop in Sheffield just down the road from me, Trafalgar Fisheries….
I love the staff in there, all very friendly, and they serve all the fish and chip shop fare – with the exception of Pea Fritters. Pea What??? you ask? Pea Fritters – Mushy peas rolled into a ball, fried in batter….. Bex introduced me to Pea Fritters – as a vegetarian, fish isn’t an option for her. I asked if they had them the first time I went in and I tease them constantly in the hope they will start cooking them.
So, shortly after my Corrie appearance I went in and the lovely woman behind the counter was very excited to have seen me on her telly, she was doing her hair and her mum shouted “The Pea Fritter man is on!!!!”
You can call me Mr P Fritter any time, just don’t call me late for dinner!
Whilst looking at the past, I would also like to share this photo of my Dad, taken as a publicity shot when he was a furniture store manager.
As Christmas comes around again and we miss him being with us, this reminds us all what a lovely handsome chap he was. And a Father I can only aspire to be. He’ll never be forgotten x
Aren’t you Dave McClelland? and a return to Corrie….
I had an odd (for me) experience today…. delivering something to a stranger’s house, miles from home and to no-one I knew.
Knocked at the door and heard a youngster tell someone older to go to the door.
A nice teenage lad opened the door and I told him why I was there, making a delivery… and he said “I think I know you from somewhere…”
Okay, so what may he have seen? I start mentally reviewing my career….. Emmerdale, Corrie , an episode of Law & Order: UK that always seems to be on the box… various other telly, some cult sci-fi (Lexx; The Dark Zone). I’ve had a lead in The Zombie King (renamed King Of The Dead for upcoming UK release, 26/10/2015) and nice parts in other films. I’ve done various theatre, but surely nothing recent or local this lad would have seen?
“Aren’t you Dave McClelland?” he continues….
Bloody hell! Why yes I am, how did you know that? (expecting something from the above list or that I’d gone to school with his parents)….
Turns out he, his parents and friends watch my YouTube videos! He particularly mentioned the Henderson’s Relish mockumentary I made, What The Heck,” Episode 2 – Henderson’s Relish.
I was amazed and delighted that I was recognised for something that was all my own work…. You shout out in the wilderness and never know who will hear you… Thank you young man, you made my day!
Here’s the video that made me memorable…. to one person at least….
And some more news……
I was also able to tell this bright lad with superb taste that I am off to shoot an episode of Coronation St next week.
I cannot tell you more or I’d have to kill you 🙂 It will air in October.
Until next time dear reader, be kind and smile!

P.S. I’d also like to add that there is a superb REAL documentary about Henderson’s Relish, aptly named RELISH. Saw it at the Sheffield DocFest, well worth seeing if you have the chance!
Actor Showreels…. from £80
Hi folks! A long time since my last update – I’ve been living through crazy times, (I’ll save the details for my autobiography) but I’m out the other side and loving life.
I’m all set up with the latest technical bells and whistles to create Showreel Magick for you actor types…. Take a look at my Showreel page and get in touch if you need more info, contact form at bottom of this post….
King Of The Dead UK movie release soon…
(known as The Zombie King in some parts of the globe)
Our movie staggers zombie-like, ever closer to a UK DVD release… It’s showing as available on DVD from August 24th on the website.
I’m a zombie-killing milkman. What more could you ask of a film, really? I’d urge you to buy it and revel in my glorious talents….. 🙂
A new episode of What The Heck? – the joys of Henderson’s Relish
Well hello kids, hope all is well with you and apologies for the lack of news here…. it’s been pretty quiet…
But that’s good, because it’s given me time to finish the 2nd episode of What The Heck? – my mockumentary series.
This episode is all about Henderson’s Relish, a Yorkshire treat from Sheffield, manufactured there for over 100 years. Sheffielders love it, but other folk think it’s just a Lea & Perrins clone…. which annoys the people of Sheffield, who use the nickname Hendo’s for their favourite condiment.
So, I’ve taken a look at the product, the history and some of Hendo’s famous fans – including The Arctic Monkeys, Sean Bean, Jessica Ennis, David Blunkett, The Everly Pregnant Brothers and more.
Please take a look, click Like on the YouTube page (if you do like it) – and Subscribe if you like the cut of my jib!
And if you have a question you’d like to get the What The Heck? treatment, contact me!
