(2008), Matthew forgot his lines and decided to continue by improvising the scene by playing the part in a more feminine role, while interacting with his co-star Faye Marsay (Sue). The two of them got carried away with the scene and after finally breaking out in laughter moments later, the director Phillip Sinclair was amused by what he saw and re-wrote the character, and requested that Matthew had to grow his hair and a moustache for the role.
- Matthew began writing over ten years ago as a hobby. His break came in 2010 when he co-wrote a theatrical play 'What The Window Cleaner Saw' which is still touring the UK to this day.
- Matt accidentally got into radio after his friend suggested the idea to him after he was a guest on his friend's show.
