Wasn’t there a film about him fairly recently? I think he was played by Andy Serkis.

A cracking film, although it wasn’t well-received by the critics, and Andy Serkis puts in an eerily Dury-like performance.

It’s Andy Serkis’ voice, not Ian Dury’s, that you hear in the songs. They were re-recorded for the film.

It’s the same old Blockheads, though. 🙂
