Chris DonaldFounder and former editor, Viz
Contact Details
Address: Not supplied
About
With brother Simon and schoolfriend
Jim Brownlow he set up Viz
magazine in his Tyneside bedroom in
1979, drawing inspiration for cartoon
characters such as Sid the Sexist,
the Fat Slags and Roger Mellie from
unwitting Tynesiders and tapping
into the rich visual and verbal
Geordie humour.
It ultimately became Britain’s third
best-selling magazine with a
circulation of 1.2 million, outselling
the likes of Woman’s Own. The former trainspotter and
sometime civil servant never did live
the rock and roll lifestyle after the
riches rolled in, preferring instead to
stay at home in Northumberland
watching television.
He “retired” in 1999 and remains
suspicious of big business though he
is active writing and with personal
projects while cataloguing and
pricing books in Barter Books in
Alnwick which he admits is
overrun with old Viz annuals they
can’t sell.

Contact Details
Address: Not supplied
About
The Geordie duo first came to
prominence – and struck up their
close friendship – thanks to the hit
children's TV series Byker Grove
during the early 1990s.
After leaving the series they
pursued a pop career under their
Byker Grove character names PJ and
Duncan and eventually released 15
singles and three albums.
It is as television presenters,
however, that the pair, who are
passionate Newcastle United
supporters, have become firmly
established as household favourites,
especially since joining ITV in 1998.
They enjoyed huge success
fronting the Saturday morning show
SMTV Live before winning over older
audiences with their work on Pop
Idol, Saturday Night Takeaway and
I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.
Their most recent success saw
them star alongside Simon Cowell
and Piers Morgan on Britain’s Got
Talent.
