I've just remembered I did have a non too favourable impression of Cope after seeing him on some old pop interview thing around the time of My Nation Underground (I think!).The format was the subject sat in a chair and was asked to choose from a range of subjects on a screen and then was asked the appropriate question by a 'computer'. Channel 4, dodgy 80's computer graphics everywhere. As I recall Cope spent most of the time crawling around on the studio floor and I thought, "I like the tunes but he's a bit of a twat".
Soon redeemed himself when Peggy came out though!
