A character in the BBC sketch show "The Fast Show".
Played by Paul Whitehouse, he is a strange looking old man, with a puffy nose from drinking too much, seated in an old-fashioned room telling un-intelligible stories about his past exploits.
Some of the speech is understandable, but most is mumbled, with occasional strange noises and hand signals.
He ends his monologues with "..of course I was very, very drunk at the time".
Sheer Genius.
Recently used as part of a [British Gas]? advertising campaign.
