The posthumous career of Peter Perky begins wrapped in chip paper soaked with salt and vinegar, and rain swept in from the crashing waves of some torrid coastal water which opens out to reveal a blinding light in the grey, like a glitter ball revolving, capturing and projecting every ray, sending them dancing playfully over everything in range, breathing life into wearyness and charm into the tarnished.

Peter Perky's scorching assent begins shrouded in mystery in the murky dorm's of a northern boys home. Those were years Peter prefers to forget.

Never revealing the darkness of those years Peter will not even disclose his original given name. At the age of 14 Peter secured a position as a Redcoat and put those days behind him. Taking on a new name he vowed to bring sunshine into the lives of the dull and the dreary. This first reincarnation found Peter in the position as first grip to the camp comedian JessB.Quiet and he took on the name of Phil Frisky. The young Phil Frisky learned quickly quickly from his mentor and Pete has often paid tribute to B. Quiet who tragically and mysteriously died just as the young Frisky, soon to become Perky, was truly beginning to find his feet. Jee B. Quiet influence can clearly be recognised if we look at B. Quiets most popular catchphrase "No, no, I'll 'ave one later" which it can be said was the inspiration which fired Perkys own catchphrases "No, you've got to 'ave one. Perky has often publicly lamented for his lack of speed in reaching the power switch, as B. Quiet became entangled in the Bingo wheel of fortune and was literally spun to death. (The incident effected Perky so badly that for a while he couldn't use a washing machine or walk past a launderette.)

For the now newly named Peter Perky, fortunes wheel was to spin him onto a different fate as a scheduled visit to the camp from a top talent scout was to set Perky on the road to goal. After a brief partnership with another well respected comedian, Jack Spanker, touring the clubs as a double act. Perky was finally forced to go it alone after Spanker became confined to a wheelchair, completely paralysed after falling down the stairs at the B.B.C.'s headquarters where he and Perky were in negotiations for the spot as co-hosts of one of the fist t.v. Saturday night variety shows called 'The Saturday Night Variety Show'. Initially the show was a great if brief success, and Perky finally had the opportunity to display the full range of his talents. Entertaining not only with his easy wit, but also unleashing his marvellous vocal talents on an unsuspecting audience. The show also provided Perky with the perfect opportunity to try out an idea he had fermenting from his camp days. The idea was called 'Tickerty Boo', it was at once a stroke of genious but was , however, to be the cause of his fall from grace. The game consisted of in essence or head to head high speed bingo with the added element of distraction from a kaleidascope of visual and aural spectacles supplied by the likes of explosions and pyrotechnics, tickling clowns, chainsaw jugglers, the massed ranks of the Queens guards and so on. The show was cut short and sensationally axed after an unfortunate accident involving a stunt motorcycle display team and a contestant who stood up shouting 'BINGO' at the wrong time.

Peter's brush with fame, however, was to bring forth two fortuitous consequences. The first was the reunion of his lost family and the mother who had abandoned him as a small helpless infant. The fickle finger of fate was again to cut short Perky's moment of joy as his mother met her demise, asphyxiated by a No. 88 bingo ball. An inquest brought a verdict of accidental death as Peter described how his newly found parent had been chasing his bingo machine and it had "just gone off", Peter also detailing that the machine had "quite a suck to it The inquest also chose not to contest the small inheritance bequeathed to Perky by deceased mother. To this day the phrase "two fat ladies" can often be seen to bring a tear to Perky's eye.

With the mixed fortune of his inheritance also became aquainted with Eddie Spayed, who whilst supplying seafood platters for the wake, it was also revealed to Peter, was a top showbiz agent Eddy, having heard Peter Perky's easy listening crooning at the mourning, was instantly interested in signing him up and through Eddie's connections and a small investment from Perk's inheritance, a deal was struck for Peter to host a cable T.V. show called 'Show Growth' in which celebrities had to speculate on the size, nature and prognosis of various growths attached to members of the studio audience who had been bussed in from various hospitals in the local area. Sadly this show was axed after on transmission, as was a subsequent show called 'Tickle your Fancy, in questions, due to the over excitement of one female contestant (and it was later revealed obsessive fan and bingo addict)enflames by over tickling and Perky proximity.

Undeterred by his mixed bag of fortunes Perky is still set on his mission with an almost religeous zeal, to bring glamour to the frumpy and that quintessential perkiness to the drab minions and will subject all to his suave irresistable charm of the spinning ball of glitter that is Peter Perky.
