RETURN OF THE WALLY MAMMOTH

MIKE BUBBINS TELLS MARION MCMULLEN WHY HIS COMEDY CREATION, A THAWED-OUT 70s PE TEACHER, IS NOT ALL THAT DIFFERENT FROM HIS REAL SELF

Mammoth returns for more modern adventures

MIKE Bubbins says his fashion sense mirrors his sitcom character Tony Mammoth.

PE teacher Tony was frozen in the 1970s after being caught in an avalanche during a school trip. He was discovered and thawed out in the 2020s for a second chance of life.

The first series saw him trying to pick up where he left off and Mammoth returns for more mayhem on Monday.

Mike both stars and co-writes the comedy and champions the 1970s era and fashions. He says: "A woman on the Tube in London told me how much she enjoyed Mammoth. She thought I was on my way to filming until I explained this is what I wear in real life. Because Mammoth's wardrobe and my wardrobe are probably 95% similar and his look is 100% my look.

"I get spotted a lot. My moustache is very distinctive, and people spot the moustache and see the face and put two and two together. It's like having a flashing beacon under my nose."
