Fat Bloke

A fat, jolly-looking man (played by David Barber) who formed a running gag during the original show—for no apparent reason he would walk into the middle of a sketch, hand something to a character (usually appropriate to the situation), be told "Thank you Fat Bloke!", and walk off. In Harry Enfield and Chums, he would sing a song (ranging from "Lord of the Dance" to "Smack My Bitch Up") in operatic style at the end of the closing credits, introduced by Enfield: "The show's not over until the Fat Bloke sings!" He made his first appearance in a script for The Scousers.

Famous quotes containing the word fat:

    Mary Antin (1881–1949)
