Biography

BBC producer who provoked the bet that shot Dave Gorman (number 1) to fame. He, too, then joined the "Do something silly then charge folks £6.99 to read all about it" brigade, although cleverly Wallace's adventures tend to involve less travelling than Gorman's - more Saying Hello to 100 Tall Grandmothers in the Street rather than Around Cities Ending in Q on a Yak.

He is the King of his own country called Lovely (his flat), the only fully double-glazed country in the world.

Trivia

We remember when he used to write for computer magazines. Erm, that's it really. Oh, and he used to be the webmaster for the BBC's Comedy site.

One of his books, Yes Man, was made into a hit movie starring Jim Carrey. Well, sort of; the title and premise are the same and Wallace got a credit on the film (and a brief cameo role too), though the story is almost completely different.

He won The National Lottery Big 7.
