With so much promise very few of them came to anything. Donald
and.... the other one, the tall lanky one, I thought might. Presumably
that was killed by the spin-off series which was guff. I thought
might "the man on the toilet" go far....

The woman did though, didn't she? Only I think she does more producing now....

Funny name she had. Would have to check the cover of the vid-EO

Apart from Pete Baikie who does lots of music for lots of TV programmes.

Mr Don and Mr George

I liked that. "You can run but you can't hide your legs." Brilliant
stuff. Moray Hunter's finest creation, however, was Callum Gilhooley.

Frank Hovis, aka John Sparks, a very clever and very funny man.

Morwenna Banks. I think she is now a Serious Actress.

I'll have to check the vido. It had its moments. I really didn't watch
the series very much as the first two were as shite as Swiss Toni.

Only they were "unfunny and surreal" rather than "unfunny and ****"
