Yeah, but to be fair, the character's name was actually Janet.

Let's do that again.

I did try to find songs for you all from the soundtrack but descended into giggles; who wants to be the sweet transvestite? Or have the sword of damacles over them. Volunteers?

A timber wolf is the closest we have to a hot dog, so Timba can play Dr. Frank-n-Furter.


Springs can be Janit or Magenta.


Obviously, I'll be Brad; all the other characters can be played by Inter.

I am going to curl up in my hammock, just picked up the latest Grantville Gazette anthology, mentally I will be in 1632 Gernany if you need me.


Calmly ignoring Bears suggestion

[Ursa major]

Jawohl, Herr Doktor Frank-n-Furter.

"Need" is a relative term


and how many of us truly need our relatives - after all, we never chose 'em....


If I'm playing all the other characters, do I get a room where I can change costume?

[springs]

Work away, Timba. No, I'll be Columbia, thanks, I've always wanted to tap dance.

(Actually, my party trick is sweet transvestite which I know is very wrong, but I'm quite good at it.)

[Interference]

My party trick is to turn up at a party.


That's some trick

[Ursa major]

Is it only at the edges...?

[Interference]

Just the trousers - I don't want to spook anyone.

For some reason (the turn-ups, actually, so don't worry), this reminds me of a TV comedy, where Milo O'Shea stars as a man trying to get hold of the Pill in (1970s?) Dublin.

[Interference]

Spooky!

I have a vague recollection of that as a Play For Today on the Beeb.

I thought there was a series of them. IMDB has information on a series, Tales From the Lazy Acre, with seven episodes, starring Milo O'Shea and David Kelly (as the Dead Man, a name that rings a bell). There's an episode (though with no plot summary given) called The Bitter Pill.

My recollection of the programme in question is of a man who loves his wife, but already has a large family. He doesn't want more children, but is loath to give up his conjugal rights. He therefore spends most of the programme trying to get hold of the Pill. Eventually, after all sorts of dead ends, he's directed to a (poker?) game, where he can win one. He loses, but in some sort of commotion, the Pill in question ends up in his turn-ups. The next to last thing we see is him eagerly taking the Pill himself. The last scene returns to where the programme started, the banks of the Liffey in Dublin, where the Dead Man points out that the man who Milo is playing has a family with one more child than in the first scene.
