Has anyone else noticed this? > >Have there been any other celebrity walk-ons? > Yes, Cleese's companion was none other than Eleanor Bron (sp?), who is a fairly famous British comedian (no flames, I know she's female, but 'comedienne' sounds so odd to me). She appeared on at least one album that I know of with Monty Python, Peter Cook, and others, called "A Poke in the Eye (With a Sharp Stick)". It is not a new album, so I would imagine it is hard if not impossible to get here. The only time I saw it I bought it. There are several fairly well known actors in Britain who have appeared in episodes, but at the moment that is the only one who rings a bell, and all of my memorabilia is at home. Sigh.... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Danger, Will Robinson!" Mark Modig ..ihnp4!btlunix!mom
