ITV planning Shaun Ryder biopic
By Aly Barchi | Published on Wednesday 20 November 2013
ITV is apparently keen to serialise Shaun Ryder’s extra-terrestrial life in a new TV series, referencing his 2011 memoir ‘Twisting My Melon’.
As previously reported, Ryder’s interests in all things alien (starting with a teenage UFO sighting) have been made into a documentary-style TV show by the History Channel. The proposed ITV series would, in reality, focus more on earth-based Ryder escapades (many of which, frankly, are more bizarre than flying saucers hovering above Salford).
Evil ‘Downton’ manservant Rob James-Collier is said to be ‘mad for’ playing Ryder in the show, which is evidently still only a silly/brilliant idea in TV execs’ heads.
