I think I've posted it before, and it's not very interesting anyway.

During the alternative comedy scene in the 80s, Bob Mills did an advert voiceover to supplement whatever he got for doing stand up. The day after it was first broadcast he arrived at the Comedy Store and Jeremy Hardy and a few others wouldn't even look at him. Presumably he was seen as some kind of sellout.
You can often here Jeremy Hardy doing voiceovers these days.
