This did occur to me when writing my original post that Derek did
amazingly well for someone playing the game for so long, doing so well
at it and yet having never, to my mind at least, repeated a set
routine. Like you say Robert, his travels inevitably come into the
proceedings but only by way of being mentioned rather than being a
backdrop for a familiar story. Peter Jones could be said to have done
similarly well although I never consider him to have been a natural
talent at actually playing the game as much as the other three were.
And as for Maudie Fiddleworth, Fun with a Frankfurter, I love her
being mentioned! I only wish Kenneth had done it more often as its
not only one of the funniest monikers ever, but Kenneth would just
bring her up randomly and talk about her as if he knew her
personally. This does also beg the question of what her name actually
was. I thought one time I read in a transcript of Dean's that it was
written "Maudie Fiddleworth-fun-with-a-frankfurter" as if it were a
ridiculously long surname. Or is it right that the "fun" is simply
additional information about her? I'm not truly interested in that
really, it's funny which ever way it is.
