The Tony Ferrino Phenomenon
The Tony Ferrino Phenomenon is a 1996 British comedy written by and starring Steve Coogan and produced by Pozzitive Television. It centres around a show given by the Portuguese singer Tony Ferrino, a music and dance spectacular which featured pop stars Mick Hucknall, Kim Wilde and Gary Wilmot in guest roles.
The spoof choreography was led by Bruno Tonioli, and a recorded version of Steve Coogan as Tony Ferrino singing Tom Jones's "Help Yourself" was released by RCA Records at the same time as the TV show was released.
As part of the illusion that Tony Ferrino was a real character, the BBC also showed a fake documentary interview about Tony Ferrino's life - Introducing Tony Ferrino - Who? And Why? - A Quest. The interview was conducted by Peter Baynham, in character as Ross Woodward, a put-upon and nervous interview host.
