NOOSHA FOX IS BEN GOLDACRE'S MUM!!! Seriously, this might be the most brilliant pop fact ever. He revealed it on Twitter last night. And I played "S-S-S-Single Bed" at Your Disco Needs You pretty much while he was announcing it.

Ha. That's excellent. His Twitter feed is full of awestruck comments from the likes of Jon Ronson and Caitlin Moran.
I didn't realise that Noosha Fox was behind the theme music to The Kenny Everett Television Show either. -

I remember being similarly awestruck when I realised that Benedict Cumberbatch had been spawned by Wanda Ventham. And the less said about Yasuko Nagazumi, the better.Comment

Looks like this info was in the public domain a while back but little noted until now.
I'll be honest, I had to look her up to find out who she is.Comment

Yes, I would have said that too had I not seen Fox on the Top of the Pops-athon on BBC4 last night, thought "Blimey, I remember them. The lead singer was a bit of a hottie" and looked her up on Wiki.Comment

Nothing to worry about, there, Furtho; unless your version is also the mother of a flame-haired shoegaze/Britpop temptress.Comment

Colin MacInnes?
No, it's naturally that colour. He focused more on lager.Comment

Yes, that's the sort of thing.Comment
