Corrected entry: After Bicycle Repair Man gets on the bus, it drives off. In the next shot, it drives round a corner past some houses and parked cars. To the left of the bus, a little boy can be seen on the street (just walking past a car), and behind the bus, a man can be seen walking in the background. Neither of these people are wearing Superman outfits, like all the other characters in the episode are.
Correction:Later in the sketch it is revealed that "stockbrokers, accountants and church wardens" are all regular sights in J W Superman's world. Obviously there are some non-Superman people about, and you saw two of them. Not a mistake.
Father: Now I understand that you want to marry my daughter? Shabby: [sniffing and coughing.] That's right ... Yeah... Yeah... Father: Yes, you realize of course that Rosaround is still rather young? Rosamund: Daddy you make me feel like a child. [she gazes at Shabby fondly.] Shabby: [lasciviously.] Oh yeah ... You know... Get 'em when they're young eh... Eh! OOOOH! Know what I mean eh, oooh! [makes obscene gesture involving elbow.] Father: Well I'm sure you know what I mean, Mr ... Er... Mr... Er . Er? Shabby: Shabby... Ken Shabby... Father: Mr Shabby... I just want to make sure that you'll be able to look after my daughter... Shabby: Oh yeah, yeah. I'll be able to look after 'er all right sport, eh, know what I mean, eh emggh! Father: And, er, what job do you do? Shabby: I clean out public lavatories. Father: Is there promotion involved? Shabby: Oh yeah, yeah. [produces handkerchief and clean throat horribly into it.] After five years they give me a brush.
Trivia: In the "Semaphore version of Wuthering Heights" sketch, much of the sempaphore is nearly correct. The first two subtitled lines are "Oh. Catherine" "Oh. Heathcliff" - what is actually signalled is "Oh Oh" "Oheath". The nurse signals "SS" and the sleeping man does signal "ZZ".
Chosen answer:That would be Terry Gilliam, who played a lot of non-speaking roles in the series, and some speaking ones like Cardinal Fang in 'The Spanish Inquisition.' He did all the animation as well, but I'm sure you knew that.
