Unless nrp@reading intended to wander up and down waving the script at
an audience, a script is just what he needs (what the world needs) 
to "convey the magic" and get a *hearty* laugh!

	The Dangerous Brothers are too (might I say very familiar)
characters created by Rik and Ade. They appeared on the UK version of
Saturday Night Live hosted by Ben Elton. I personally found it to be
rib-breakingly funny but I am a little strange. Most of the sketches
involved one or other of the two or both inflicting horrific injuries on
the other. One of the funniest ones I remember was FLYING ZEBRAS in which
the brothers attempted to introduce the audience to one of natures miracles
to-wit Zebras wot fly. I'll not spoil it but I was rolling around for
weeks, it still causes me to chuckle and it must have been about 5 years
ago.
	The only thing bad I can say about it is that perhaps we've seen Ade
and Rik playing these characters a little too often. I haven't personally
but some might say so.
	I didn't know they were on vid though I must visit my local shop.....

By all accounts the show ran on catch-phrases.  The only one I can bring

I picked up and successfully decoded (using my HP48SX for sale #200) some 
alien transmissions, which lead me to conclude that Rowan Atkinson and
Elvis Presley changed places for a while.

It seems that Elvis was rather tired of busting intergalactic drug
syndicates, and I can't quite work out what Rowan Atkinsons problom was
or even if he had any choice in the matter.

I am glad you mentioned that about different actors because it makes me 
feel more confident about my Alien Transmissions decoding algorith on
my HP48SX programmable calulator (for sale at 200 english pounds)

Anybody else know anything about it.

  I'm starting to revise the Reworked BA quotes, and I need a consensus on
a certain word.  The word is from BA4 "GoodByeee", and is when BA pretends 
to be insane.  How do you think "wubble" "wobble" or "wibble" should be     
spelled, or what you think should be the right way.

Regardless of the common usage of `wibble', I suggest that people listen
to what Rowan actually is saying.  It sure isn't `wibble'.  It's `wooble',
gosh darn it!

Trying saying the words for yourselves, too.
Then compare what you say with what Rowan says.
