Long, interesting article about Jon Ross. We know he collects Micronauts and Microman. (He was a member of the Micropolis Embassy for a few years.) About 17 paragraphs down, he mentions making fun of the small size of John Barrowman's vintage Microman collection...!

That's awesome, I've always liked Jon Ross since he hosted "The Incredibly Strange Film show", a love of trashy cinema, comics and vintage toys. How could I not like the guy?

I like Jonathan Ross, he's a huge geek like all of us. And I've never even seen his show! (being disadvantageously geographically situated, and all.)
I really dig his comic collection.
Was "The Incredibly Strange Film show" a show with interviews of directors like John Waters & Jackie Chan covering their film careers? I think I saw these in the 1990's on Discovery Channel in the US.
"The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow...How did it come to this?"
Yes, that was it. His "Friday Night" show currently airs on BBC America, but he's leaving the BBC for other projects. I expect he won't have any trouble coming up with other stuff to do.
