I can’t bear that. I think that’s unbearable. Ghastly old men, with great pails of garbage, throwing it all over me. I don’t think it should be allowed, I think there should be a place for those people to go. And I don’t think it should be my room. I’d vote for any party that would say, “I won’t allow people to throw garbage all over me”. But none of the parties seem to be particularly interested. That’s why I formed the World Domination League. It’s a wonderful league, the World Domination League. The aims, as published in the manifesto, are total domination of the world by 1958. That’s what we’re planning to do. We’ve had to revise it - we’re hoping to bring a new manifesto out with a more realistic target. How we aim to go about it is as follows: we shall move about into people’s rooms and say, “Excuse me, we are the World Domination League - may we dominate you?” Then, if they say “Get out”, of course we give up. Yes, I am the tall one. Very nicely done, DLR! ---

I was thinking Graham Chapman, but then I got thrown off by the person dying after 1990 and not being in a series shown often on PBS. OK: I am R. ---
