Team Profiles

Michael James Ian Clayton Downs* AKA Downsy is in charge of all of the buttons and knobs in the studio whilst That Morning Thing are on air. He lives in Portishead with his dog (the only lady that will go near him these days) and is probably fatter than he should be. As Bristol’s (self proclaimed) premier celebrity, Downsy leads a life of glitz and glamour. Whether it’s opening fetes, hosting pub quizzes, DJ’ing at weddings or guest appearances in local publications – Downsy is your man. You can find out more about the weird and wonderful world of Ian Downs here: www.iandowns.co.uk or follow him on twitter here @downsy...
Warning: Don’t hold us responsible if you don’t like what you see.

*=Not his real name.

Serial home wrecker Alice Crocker loves nothing more than sitting down to a few modest yards of real ale in her local or an evening watching the wrestling on pay-per view. Believed to be That Morning Thing's only true thorough-bred Bristolian; Alice was discovered as a baby in a cardboard box under a pool table in the Cat and Wheel on Gloucester Road and has since enjoyed moderate success in beauty pageants and non speaking television appearances across the South West. Thanks to an open university qualification in automotive transport systems she is now employed by JACK fm as Queen of traffic and travel, guiding motorists through the minefield of Bristol's rush hour.

After a long and unsuccessful career in the circus, 

						Richard
 ran away to join JACK fm. Richard contributes to the show via a series 
of grunts and hand gestures which are then fed into our Present-a-tron 
5000™ to emulate the effect of a live radio producer. Richard holds a 
Grade 9 award on the Swanee Whistle and when not pushing the boundaries 
of conceptual music with his band 'Grey Skull' he moonlights as a 
consultant for the Lithuanian Space Program. Richard Johnson appears
