[[Image:Peter_Kay_in_That_Peter_Kay_Thing.jpg|right|thumb|250 px|[[Peter Kay]] as Robert Edge/Mr Softytop, one of the 15 characters he played in "That Peter Kay Thing"]]

'''''That Peter Kay Thing''''' was a series of six [[Parody|spoof]] [[Documentary film|documentaries]] shown on [[Channel 4]] in January and February 2000. Set in and around [[Bolton]], these followed the lives of different characters and starred [[Peter Kay]] as the subject of each documentary. All of the episodes displayed Kay's penchant for nostalgic humour and unsympathetic lead characters. The voiceovers were provided by [[Andrew Sachs]]. Many of the plot lines were based around actual events from Kay's life. At least six of the characters appear in the spin-off series ''[[Phoenix Nights]]''.

The '''2007 [[NBA Draft]]''' will be held on [[June 28]], [[2007]] at the Theatre at [[Madison Square Garden]] in [[New York City]] [[and will be broadcast]] in the [[United States]] on [[ESPN]].

==Memorable Characters==

*'''[[Brian Potter]]''' (Kay) - Owner of [[working men's club]] "The Neptune". He lost the use of his legs when the club flooded and, in trying to rescue the night's takings, was trapped behind the [[fruit machine]] and was left in a coma. He is notoriously tight fisted. It is suggested that he can actually walk, as at the end of the episode he is seen to stand whilst remonstrating with a group of Fireman. Often says "You may not have noticed but I'm disabled!"

*'''[[Max and Paddy]]''' (Kay and [[Patrick McGuinness]]) - Two incompetent [[bouncer (doorman)|bouncers]] at the Neptune Club.

*'''Jerry St. Clair''' ([[Dave Spikey]]) - Part time builder and compère at the Neptune Club. He won ''Talent Trek'' in [[1992]]. His act consists of dubious singing and poor jokes.

*'''[[Les and Alan|Les Alanos]]''' - The Neptune's house band, '''Les''' ([[Toby Foster]]) and '''Alan''' ([[Mark Jackson]]). Les originally worked with Alan's father before he left to form the tribute band ''Right Said Frank''. Les claims that "Les Alanos" only ''sounds'' Spanish, but that it is in fact their names cunningly disguised "Les, Alan, ''Us''!". In the later series ''Phoenix Nights'', Jackson was replaced by [[Steve Edge]] as Alan.

*'''[[Paul LeRoy|Paul le Roy]]''', often mis-pronounced ''Leroy'' (Kay) - A local [[disc jockey]] for the [[radio station]] [[Chorley FM]]. He is obsessed with the music of the [[1980s]]. He sports a [[mullet (haircut)|mullet]] and has a long-suffering wife.

*'''[[Keith Lard]]''' (Kay) - An overly cautious local fire safety inspector who, it is alleged, interferes with dogs. The character appears to have been based on Bolton fire inspector Keith Laird, though both Kay and Channel 4 have been forced to deny this and publicly apologise.

*'''Patrick O'Neil''' (Kay) - A cheeky employee at the Apollo [[Housie|Bingo]] Hall, who along with his friend "Sparky" (so called because he was struck by lightning), causes havoc in the Apollo. Kay had actually worked in a Bolton bingo hall and admits that of the Patrick O'Neil is the only character in the series actually based on him.

*'''Tom Dale''' (Kay) - A [[Liverpool|Liverpudlian]] bingo caller known for his bizarre pre-show preparations and his catchphrase "Let's tickle those balls." For some reason, he bears more than a passing resemblance to [[Dracula]]. He is based on Roy Diamond, a bingo caller Peter worked with.

*'''Rose and Theresa''' (Kay and [[Beatrice Kelley]]) - Two middle aged bingo fans who assume anyone who wins is sleeping with caller Tom Dale. Theresa believes bingo has it all: "Drama, glamour, tension, chips, fish, peas ''and'' a drink for £2.49".

*'''Mr. Softytop''', aka '''Robert Edge''' (Kay) - a third generation [[ice-cream]] man, who hates children. He resembles a blonde [[Elvis Presley|Elvis]] and, to make up for his dwindling sales, he keeps the raspberry sauce chained to the counter and rents pornographic videos from his van.

*'''Signor Whipy''' An illegal immigrant from Barnsley and is threataned to have his nose bitten off by Mr. Softytop if he evr sells ice cream on his patch again.

*'''Darren Bramwell''' ([[Kristian Tiffany]]) - A college student who works for Mr. Softytop on weekends. He is slightly slow, but seems more down-to-earth than Softy.

*'''Matthew Kelly''' (Kay) - An aspiring [[Ireland|Irish]] actor who is stuck in several part-time jobs notably as a cleaner in the services and a steward in the Arena. He has starred as Mr Bumble in '[[Oliver Twist]]' and a burns victim in '[[Casualty (television)|Casualty]]'. Matthew is often confused with the TV personality [[Matthew Kelly]].

*'''Johnny Utah''', aka Craig (Kay) - A surly [[American Old West|Wild West]] obsessive, who works as a coach driver. He dislikes the passengers and is not afraid to leave them behind. He worries that someone might damage his "Trigger Finger". He was arrested for speeding and carrying a replica revolver in the episode "the arena"

*'''Duncan Beach''' ([[Daniel Kitson]]) - A [[St. John Ambulance]] volunteer who is devoted to his job, but treated with contempt by those he treats. Without his job, he would be stuck at home with his mum and "her fella". His hardest job was when the [[Pope]] visited [[Heaton Park]]. He was forced to question his faith in God, as he felt he could have made it a bit cooler and provided better seating arrangements.

*'''Shaun''' ([[Neil Fitzmaurice]])- A representative of the stadium security group Live Sec, Shaun is one of Kay's many characters that are humorous but forgotten in favour of such characters as Max and Brian Potter.

*'''Leonard de Thomkinson''' (Kay) - An elderly, kindly local eccentric. Due to [[angina]] he is unable to work, but has a paper round and is, therefore, Britain's oldest [[paperboy]]. He lived with his mother until her death and is very religious. Every day he carries a crucifix into the town centre and preaches the word of God. He is well liked but, it is suggested, has no real friends - though he does write to an American on death row. He is based on a real man (also called Leonard) who used to visit the [[Esso]] [[filling station|petrol station]] in his [[Reliant Robin]] where Kay worked. The real Leonard would often tell Kay about all the friends he had, yet, when he died in [[1991]], Kay was upset by the lack of people at his funeral.

*'''Mark Park''' (Kay) - An aspiring pop star, and former [[greengrocer]], who looks like [[Mick Hucknall]]. He has a dog called Lady. In the first episode he was a member of Park Avenue with '''Cheryl Avenue''', and won ''Talent Trek'' at the Neptune Club. The final episode, Lonely at the Top, charts his fall from fame. He also appears to have had a nose job.

*'''Pearl Harbour''' (Kay) - A would-be career woman who manages a Bolton [[service station]]. She is one of Kay's "Nosey bitches" and lords her power over the uninterested teenagers she employs.

*'''Alan McClarty''' (Kay)- A Scottish mechanic who has worked for the [[RAC plc|RAC]] before his wife left him and he had a nervous breakdown. He now runs his own breakdown company, "ARC". He is still an unstable character.

==RunningDraft Themesorder==

The first 14 picks in the draft, belonging to teams that had missed the 2007 NBA Playoffs, were determined through a [[NBA Draft Lottery|lottery]] held on [[May 22]], [[2007]]. The remaining first-round picks and the second-round picks were assigned to teams in reverse order of their win-loss record in the [[2006-07 NBA season]].

*[[Steve Edge]] appears in several of the episodes as Alan, a character on the edge of the series which captures moments of his life. He rarely has more than one line an episode. Kay admits that joke didn't really work, as the appearances were too low key to be noticed by viewers over several weeks. Edge appeared in ''Phoenix Nights'' as a character also called Alan.

*Every episode passes with at least a passing reference to [[Bob Carolgees]]. Carolgees actually appeared in the episode "Leonard" giving Leonard his award.

*Every episode makes reference to a young girl who has been in a coma since [[Halloween]].

*Characters refer to the [[Solero]] ice lolly in most episodes.

Set in the Neptune Club - a working men's establishment. It follows the annual ''"Talent Trek"'' competition. The first episode is notable as it was the basis for Kay's next project ''Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights''. It features many of the characters who were to go on to be a part of the series - Brian Potter, Jerry St. Clare, bouncers Max and Paddy and Les Allanos. The final scene sees the club burnt down and sets the stage for Potter to take over the Phoenix Club.

These teams do not have a Draft Pick in the 2007 NBA Draft:

* Denver Nuggets

* Toronto Raptors

* Cleveland Cavaliers

* Indiana Pacers

====The IceLottery Cream Man Cometh====

Teams were in the 2007 [[NBA Draft Lottery|draft lottery]] either by being eliminated from playoff consideration or through prior trades with non-playoff teams. The NBA performed a tie-breaker on [[April 20]] to determine which teams get which picks.<ref name=tiebreaker>{{cite web | url = http://www.draftexpress.com/viewarticle.php?a=2008 | title = Ties Broken for 2007 NBA Draft Order of Selection | date = [[2007-04-20]] | author = Draft Express | accessdate = 2007-04-21 }}</ref> The lottery was held on [[May 22]], [[2007]] in [[Secaucus, New Jersey|Secaucus]], [[New Jersey]].

This episode revolved around the fading popularity of local [[ice cream van]]s. The subject of the documentary is Mr Softytop, a grumpy ice-cream man who verbally assaults his customers and Darren, his assistant. His attempts to boost sales include inventing the "Millennium Cone", selling at the site of road accidents and renting pornography, films include: Shaving Private Ryan, Beverly Hills Cock, Look Who's Porkin and the Phantom Penis. (A real [[sex shop]] in Bolton is called '''Softy's Hard Stuff'''). To make matters worse he has to compete with a new competitor, Signór Wippy.

Fourteen [[Ping pong ball|ping-pong balls]], numbered from one to 14, were placed in a bin to create 1,001 four-ball combinations. Each team was assigned a set number of four-ball combinations based on their won-loss record during the [[2006-07 NBA season]]. Combinations were drawn to determine the top three picks, and then the remaining spots were assigned to the remaining teams based on their win-loss records.<ref>

Also features: Leonard, Paul le Roy, Alan McClarty.

====The Arena====

Set in the [[Manchester Evening News Arena]], this episode follows the staff and customers preparing for the Super Sounds of the Seventies Night. Matthew Kelly is employed as a steward - a job he is thoroughly useless at, and receives much stick from Chris and Sean from Live Sec. Kelly is annoyed when, instead of attending the concert, he is left in charge of the car park.

#Portland Trail Blazers (5&ndash;9&ndash;14&ndash;13)

Also featuring: Duncan Beach, Johnny Utah.

#Seattle SuperSonics (14&ndash;4&ndash;11&ndash;10)

#Atlanta Hawks (5&ndash;6&ndash;9&ndash;4)

#Memphis Grizzlies

#Boston Celtics

#Milwaukee Bucks

#Minnesota Timberwolves

#Charlotte Bobcats

#New York Knicks (sent to Chicago Bulls)

#Sacramento Kings

#Indiana Pacers (sent to Atlanta Hawks)

#Philadelphia 76ers

#New Orleans Hornets

#Los Angeles Clippers

Despite having the three highest probabilities of earning a top-three pick, the Memphis Grizzlies (.643 probability of drawing a top three pick), Boston Celtics (.558), nor Milwaukee Bucks (.468), received a top-three pick. Mathematically, this situation occurs only 8.4% of the time.<ref>Calculated by multiplying the probability of each team not receiving a top three pick: (.357)(.442)(.532)=0.0839, or approximately 8.4%</ref> Memphis, Boston and Milwaukee received the fourth, fifth and sixth picks, the lowest possible picks they could be awarded through the lottery.<ref>

====Leonard====

{{cite news

The episode follows lovable local eccentric Leonard in the run-up to him receiving an award for being Britain's oldest paper boy. Leonard introduces the other local eccentrics including The Duke, who walks around Bolton drawing his fingers from his pockets as if they were guns and shouting '''"[[John Wayne]]!"''' and Carl who waves at cars. The episode is more melancholy than the others, as Leonard is one of the few truly likable characters, but he leads a tragic life. His aunt claims he was coddled by his mother, and, as much as he is everybody's friend, he has no real friends. This does not quash Leonard's spirit and he remains upbeat throughout.

Eventually he returns to his job as a greengrocer.

==International players declaring for the draft==

These are players born between [[January 1]], [[1986]] and [[December 31]], [[1988]] for whom '''''all''''' of the following are true:<ref name="NBA CBA"/>

*They have lived outside the United States for at least three years prior to the draft while playing organized basketball, either as an amateur or professional, outside the U.S.

*They have never enrolled at a U.S. college or university.

*They did not complete high school in the U.S.

International players become automatically eligible for the draft in the calendar year that they turn 22; younger players must declare for the draft, with the same deadline as for U.S. college players. These players can withdraw from the draft as well; while preserving U.S. college eligibility is not an issue for the vast majority of such players, who are ineligible for college play as professionals, they may have contractual or personal reasons for withdrawing. The NBA released the list of international early entrants as part of its official release of the early entrants list on [[May 4]].<ref name=NBAList />
