I thought David Jason was wrong too.. he wasn't horrible enough - whereas the animated version of Soul Music had him down to a T from the book descriptions, but did indeed look rather like Wilfred Bramble. Ever tried fried porridge? Ian Cuthbertson was fairly good as the voice of Death - it was a much more boney, chill and icy rendering than Christopher Lees, but lacked his subterranean undertones and commanding presence. When Christopher Lee appears at your bedside to take you to the underworld, you know there's no arguing!

We too have 'sausage inna bun', 'ook' (usually when de-lousing the child though) and my favourite 'buggrit, buggrit, millennium hand and fish'.

I personally know 'Foul ole Ron' - I've sat opposite him on the tube many times, many, many times! I have sailed along a canal that makes the river Ankh look liquid, I know someone who can understand the Mac Na Feegles and may herself be the Kelda and I used to work in a pub where Greebo reigned supreme. He had both his ears and was called Errol, but it was still Greebo.
