Python, The Goons, Cheers, Roseanne and all of the Hancock stuff, The Good Life. Also: Absolutely Fabulous, Harry Enfield, On the Hour and Have I Got News for You?

Books:

I don't read much because I take so long to read things. I'll catch up one day. This partial dyslexia thing. I just take ages to read. Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings' I really went for. I read lots of factual stuff. 'All The President's Men'. I'm very thinly read. Stacks of biographies. Melvyn Bragg on Richard Burton. I've read all about the Kennedys--a fascinating study of hunger.

Heroes:

Bees, Monty Python, Billy Connolly, Bill Hicks, Marcel Marceau, Steve Martin, David Putnam, Richard Pryor, James Mason, Sean Connery, George Lucas, Vivienne Westwood, Martina Navratilova, Jesus Christ, Mrs. Badcrumble, Charlton Heston... um... Zinglebert Bembledack? Yingeebert Dymbleban? No, that's not it... Zynglebert Bingleback? Winglebert Humptyback? Slut Bonwalla! No... damn! Ringlebert Fischeebuns? Steviebuns Bottrittrunden? Jerry Dorsey? Englebert Humptyback? Zenglebert Bengledack? Englebert Humperdinck? Vinglebert Wingledanck? Wait, no... Englebert Humperdink. YES! Englebert Humperdink, bees (again), his holiness the Pope... French-speaking monkeys and of course, Benny Hill and Jeff Vader.
