- “My name is Edward. Well really it's Edward Thomas Lytton Vaughan Coleman. Which is preposterously long name, but one which comes with the glistening possibility of its owner being 'distinguished'. I am in no way 'distinguished'. Though I clearly possess parents incapable of making tough decisions. ... I basically say words out loud for a living. On the television. In an acting sort of way, not a Vernon Kay sort of way. Though I do see him about now and then. ... My professional name is 'Ed' Coleman. As you can see I have gone to a great deal of trouble to conceal my true identity from my intrusive legions of fans. Latest count, 1. I got a letter and everything. It was odd. And now I've started a blog; which I suppose is like being the guy who only got round to buying a Minisdisc player in 2004.”
