Background
In a 2006 interview with The Guardian, Leigh Francis claimed that Keith Lemon is loosely based on his best friend (whose name is also Keith Lemon). Lemon is easily distinguished by his Yorkshire accent, bleached hair, ginger moustache and fake tan. According to Francis, Lemon's background is that of a failed businessman, who was most successful in 1993, when he won the prestigious Businessman of the Year award for his innovative creation, the "securi-pole". He currently lives with his girlfriend, Rosie (Laura Aikman), in Leeds but to her disdain he frequently visits his 'love of his life' Ruth Hardy (he has asked Rosie if they could pair up!)

—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
