According to Wikipedia, here are the characters:
Roger Taylor was Suzie Birchall
Brian May was Hilda Ogden
Freddie Mercury was Bet Lynch
John Deacon was Ena Sharples
Hilda Ogden always wore curlers and a head scarf. Ena Sharples always wore a hair net. Bet Lynch was bleached blonde and wore leopard print and furs. I don’t recall Suzie Birchall.
Well, Roger Taylor has said that it was a Coronation Street parody. He’s confirmed that Mercury is supposed to be Bet Lynch. Apparently they originally were using a blonde wig but decided to switch to one that matched Mercury’s moustache because it seemed funnier.
There was a radio play, back in the mists of time, that I’ve never since found any reference too. It started as a gloomy dour and extremely worthy 1970’s BBC radio play, after the BBC had gone so far down that hole that you couldn’t see daylight.
I was about to turn it off – and then it turned into a fun amusing entertainment about Shakespeare, forced to write popular plays by his producer and 1600’s public, when all he really wanted to do was be an “angry young man” writing gloomy dour boring 1960’s BBC material.
Part of the joke of course is that Shakespear speaks Shakespearian English, (demotic period English) but the play he’s written is in barely intelligible BBC English.
I still remember it, because in the mid 70’s it was so unexpected to find a BBC radio play actually worth listening to.
