Oh I back that up completely.
When he appeared, Mum & Dad were "Oh! Mr Bean!"
Because of his apparel I immediately thought "Johnny English". I dislike both characters.
It was so lovely to see a split second from The Blackadder in the TV montage.
One of our comedy channels (Gold? Dave?) is showing one of his few stand-up shows. They're using the clip where he is the Devil welcoming people to Hell. Far more to my taste. I also adored his unrepentant Headmaster, which I had on audio tape. "Stiff as a board and bright green... and beginning to
smell!" Sadly, like some Spitting Image lines, it's in my head as a great quote but rarely gets used. I shall be chaste and virginal* until the comedy references I drop are picked up by my true love.
Glad I wasn't going mad re the Tradis though
* Apparently it seals up after a while.
