Tim's Name
His name derives from the following dialogue between him and King Arthur:
- Arthur: What manner of man are you that can summon up fire without flint or tinder?
- Tim: I... am an enchanter.
- Arthur: By what name are you known?
- Tim: There are some who call me... 'Tim'...?
- Arthur: ...greetings, Tim the Enchanter.
On the UK release of the DVD, the actors explain that "Tim" was intended as a particularly unlikely and non-menacing name for such a powerful wizard.
In an interview with Shaun Micallef in 2007, John Cleese claimed that "we chose 'Tim' to annoy Tim Brooke-Taylor".
