Moir, who has a way of talking as if permanently on the verge of laughing, is nevertheless quite serious as he tells me about the tiled floor in the hall, how he has been polishing it for days, and how he can often spend weeks at some such matter of domestic urgency.
Moir is not, of course, the first celebrity to turn his hand to artistic endeavours - nor the first suspected of being given a leg-up by his status.
Moir was born in Leeds and as a child was known by his second name, Roderick, to differentiate him from his father and grandfather, both called James.

It made him a source of derision to all but his tight-knit gang of friends with their in-jokes about all that was ‘funny, silly and daft’ – a catchphrase always delivered in the style of a ‘mentally challenged working men’s club compere’, as many a Big Night Out line would later be.
Inevitably the foppish young Moir – so absorbed with fads that, for a period, he would wear a full Victorian nightdress and cap to bed – would form a band, first prog rockers Trout, and then a punkier band that insisted on changing its name at every gig for fear of ever stumbling upon popularity.
As for his artistry, Me:Moir is illustrated liberally with his bizarre doodles - from depictions of his meeting with Coronation Street’s exquisitely coiffured star Pat Phoenix to reproductions of Gavin The Fashionable Bear, the odd cartoon strip with which he used to baffle his colleages.
