The Hunt for Red Leicester
One of the first TV series I remember watching starred him in a dramatisation of Samuel Pepys’s diaries.
He was one of Dracula’s thralls in one of the Christopher Lee films as well.
In a similar vein, Stinking Bishop cheese was prominently featured in Were-Rabbit without the producers’ fore-knowledge and they couldn’t figure out for a while why demand for their artisanal cheese shot through the roof.
I ordered some Stinking Bishop from Amazon soon after the movie came out, just to see if it was deserving of the name. And it was, although it wasn’t *that *bad. To my untrained palate it tasted a bit like, and was somewhat similar to the consistency of, Camembert.
Camem-bert?
It’s a bit runny, sir.
I linked to this the last time we had a W&G thread, and I’ll do so again.
Here’s Peter Sallis in a clip from the show Last of the Summer Wine if you want to hear him again. Please note the cheese under discussion.
Whoops, the cat ate it! :smack:
Oui; le “t,” 'e is silent. 
The Wiki article I linked to mentions that the cheese was named after the perry made from Stinking Bishop pears they wash the cheese in and the pears, in turn, were named after the irascible nature of the variety’s breeder and not any hygienic shortcoming he might have had.
It is nevertheless a rather smelly cheese.
Where do you suppose "Who cut the cheese?"came from?

My favorite part of A Grand Day Out is when the little robot glues the tops back on the stalagmites.
And the rabbit they named “Warren”. HA HA HA!
I did not get this joke until just now! DUH! :smack:
If I remember correctly, Wallace pronounces “Shawn” more like “Shorn”. Kind of.
As in the old joke:
**Australian tourist: ** Lissen, mate! Where I come from, we **shear those!

New Zealand farmer: (Panting heavily) Bloody hell! I’m not shearin’ this with anybody!
