- Alexei David Sayle (born 7 August 1952) is an English stand-up comedian, actor and author. His first name is usually pronounced "Alexy" despite the proper Russian pronunciation being "Alexyay". He was a central part of the alternative comedy circuit in the early 1980s. He was voted 18th on a list of the 100 Greatest Stand Ups in a poll for Channel 4.
- Peel was generally a fan of Alexei's comedy and played his debut single 'Ullo John! Gotta New Motor? in 1982, although it was not a hit until re-released a couple of years later, when it reached number 15 in the UK singles chart [1]. He also described Alexei as a hero on his 25 February 1996 (BFBS) show, when he mentioned that he was invited along with Sheila and Alexei by his literary agent to have dinner in a restaurant. After Peel's death, Alexei paid tribute to him in the Independent newspaper in 2004:

After Peel's death, Alexei paid tribute to him in the Independent newspaper in 2004: "It was always great to listen to John. He was a crucial figure for music and he often thought that the BBC were trying to sideline him. The station went through various controllers who were not always keen on having an individual, distinctive voice, which John Peel was. [2]"
- Alexei David Sayle (born 7 August 1952) is an English stand-up comedian, actor and author. His first name is usually pronounced "Alexy" despite the proper Russian pronunciation being "Alexyay". He was a central part of the alternative comedy circuit in the early 1980s. He was voted 18th on a list of the 100 Greatest Stand Ups in a poll for Channel 4. Much of Sayle's humour is in the tradition of Spike Milligan and Monty Python, with riffs based on an absurd and surreal premise. His act is noted for its cynicism, intelligence and political awareness, as well as physical comedy. Sayle's trademark appearance is a shaved head, five o'clock shadow, and a suit that is a size or two too small.
- He has starred in the TV series and films, such as The Comic Strip Presents. He is propably best know for his work on The Young Ones with Christopher Ryan and Nigel Planer, as well as many other stand-up comedy series. He also co-wrote many programmes, including six series of his own stand-up/sketch shows (three series of Alexei Sayle's Stuff (1988-91), two series of The All New Alexei Sayle Show (1994-95) and one series of Alexei Sayle's Merry-Go-Round (1998)). He was credited with providing "additional material" for The Young Ones. One of his nicknames is the "fat bastard" which is heard in his skits to refer to him; the opening credits for Stuff featured various characters asking "Who is that fat bastard?" as he passed by. Sayle's trademark costume is a suit and tie a size or two too small for his body and a shaved head. Much of Sayle's humour is in the tradition of Spike Milligan and Monty Python with riffs on an absurd premise. Political themes are also prevalent. One particular piece of political satire on Stuff involved then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher using the TARDIS to take first a tour of a medieval hospital, a squalid, septic, ill-managed hovel with patients moaning in agony, then of a hospital in the near future following her proposed reforms to the National Health Service, which turned out to be a nearly identical squalid, septic, ill-managed hovel with patients moaning in agony. Sayle alternates his comedic work with performances as a character actor, ranging from serious (Golodkin in Gorky Park) to humorous (the Sultan in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). In a column for a British tabloid newspaper around the same time as his appearance in "Revelation of the Daleks," Sayle indicated that he wanted to become the "first Socialist Doctor". Sayle has written several novels and short story collections and a graphic novel (Geoffrey the Tube Train and the Fat Comedian). Sayle has also tried his hand at recording, scoring a minor international hit with the song "Didn't Ya Kill My Brother?" (for which he also made a music video). He also recorded the album The Fish People Tapes, which begat the single "Allo John Got a New Motor?", the flipside of which consisted of Sayle swearing to the song's backing track for about seven minutes. He has been married to Linda Rawsthorn since 1974. In 1995, he was awarded an honorary professorship at the Thames Valley University. As of 2006, he writes a motoring column in The Independent newspaper. He also contributed to the charity reference book Behind the Sofa: Celebrity Memories of Doctor Who.
