Hi, noticed this is up for "speedy deletion". However, the guy is real - it's the penname of Paul Rose, who is an esteemed writer in UK television. More information about him can be found at his site: http://www.mrbiffo.com - the FAQ has links to his other work, including writing for the TV Soap Eastenders.
Hope this clears up the misunderstanding - Cheers, Tom
Mr Biffo is a real person, however it is only a psuedonymn (sp). His main 'claim to fame' is that he was the author of digitiser, which recieved 1 million viewers each day, which is more than any printed magazine gets per month in the UK. He was also nominated for a bafta for his work on my parents are aliens. Deleting this page would be like deleting any other screen writers' page. Pod 18:41, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Mr Biffo means an enormous amount to a whole swathe of people... his occasionally subversive humour has shaped a nation's, by subtle means.
It would be very messed-up to remove this page-me-do.
Maybe "mr biffo" should just redirect to a "Paul Rose" entry. I don't see why Rose/Biffo can't have a wikipedia page but to be honest the entry is pretty poor and could be rewritten - perhaps by Biffo himself or someone who isn't just off the forum. - Lobo
