Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Re Barry Humphries, I agree that Dame Edna and Sir Les Patterson were classics, but let's not forget Barry McKenzie, another Humphries creation (albeit, I have read, one suggested by Peter Cook), who graced the pages of 'Private Eye' for many years from the mid-'60s.

I think his show ran out of ideas after a few seasons, and the really weird themes were replaced by a more repetitive sequence of relationship battles. But how many TV shows had a security guard that the fans knew by name and even ended up with his own show? 1 Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
