My childhood in a nutshell, well it all started in Northampton in the 80s.

I didn't even know I was in the closet but I did find George Mikel in there.

My dad was the manager of the local football club,

but the only thing I was tackling was a good act of a Christie.

They've only gone and turned it into a series.

So do yourself a favour and watch my awkward years in glorious technicala,

changing in strain free on ITVX.

Comedy is back in the building.

You're listening to Imaginary Worlds.

I'm Eric Balinsky.

Over the years, a lot of listeners have asked me to do an episode about professional wrestling.

Spoiler alert.

And then one day I decided to look up

whether there had been any supernatural wrestling characters.

And that's when I discovered the Undertaker.
