Nope.
I'm not sure if it displays OK, but the 1st letter is supposed to be an upper case version of the fourth.
It cuts off the eyes on my phone.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

On my work PC it gets displayed OK, 1st and fourth letters seem to be the the same, as you said.

Peeping Tom

I have a horrible feeling you are! 
If so, well done - I had nothing at all...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

It was coventry that gave it away - except for silent treatment and WWII bombings I couldn't think of anything else it was famous for!
Not sure what the Taylor bit was about though!?
PooperPig - Coming Soon
|
|
|
|

Tom the Taylor was the original Peeping Tom.
He was, as you say, from Coventry.
Dogging was originally a term for just peeping.
And all the characters looked like they were peeping.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Didnt know he was a Taylor! See - this place really is educational!
Fantastic characters, BTW - I was at first convinced the second word had to be "owl" 
PooperPig - Coming Soon
|
|
|
|

I understand the first clue should be very obscure, the next would simply have been Lady Godiva.
It was browsing the characters that suggested the clue.
I saw some excellent Arabic ones that looked just like a surfer on a wave, but they wouldn't display in a browser.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I have a family association as my mum's cousin [I can never remember the relationship to me] is an expert on them and owns pretty well one of every model they ever made; including a motorcycle with caravan.

Well, they were very famous back in the days of Empire!
BTW, if you watch the nutter in that clip, he starts talking at the end and he is like that with everyone all of the time and due to spending all his life working in a machine shop HE DOES SHOUT A FAIR BIT!

A couple of hours early, but I'm about to go have breakfast then head into Legoland so tough.
Phone me before the short pygmy finishes with Ian who has a beautiful ass (11)

Now, that's a hard one. How many letters?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
|

You really counted the number of letters in the whole sentence?
|
|
|
|
|
No.
(As I alway have an SQL console open in front of me...)

Well that's pretty smart of you

No, he didn't (it's only 73 if you follow crossword rules and ignore spaces and punctuation)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|
|
|
|
Shouldn't the spaces and punctuation marks be included too?
Or they're not supposed to be counted when they say "count number of letters(not characters)"?
|
|
|
|
|
Nope. When you set a crossword clue, you don't count spaces: is the solution was "COUNT SPACES" then you would say "Add up gaps (5, 6)" and you ignore all other punctuation (a hyphenated word would be indicated in the letter count: (3-4, 6)
And you should always assume that punctuation in the clue is there to mislead you!

"Callipygian"?
--EDIT:
Phone -> CALL
me -> I
short pygmy -> PYG
finishes with Ian -> ending with "IAN"
Callipygian -> a person having well-shaped buttocks.
You have just been Sharapova'd.
