Handbags   (The sad, the bad and the ugly. Non-productive stuff here.)

There was a marvelous sketch in Not The Nine O Clock News (early 80's) where two gentlemen met in an inn/tavern.

Probably a parody of scene from Pickwick Papers.

Think the main players were Smith and Jones. Anyroad, it was a micky take on Dickens character titles. More and more people were introduced.

I remember one being Mr Fezzypeg and possibly a Fuzzyrug.
Then, one was asked if he was Mr Rum-tiddley-um-tum. He replied in an apologetic way that the questioner was in fact mistaking him, as he was Mr Rum-tiddley-um-tum-tum-tum.


At this point, a text appeared across the screen to the effect ot

"We apoligise for the outbreak of silly names in thes programme. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible"
