Mister Dead
Parody of Mister Ed. A (supposedly) talking corpse (played by Whitehouse) who travels around with his living friend (Enfield) and often helps him get out of troublesome situations, such as in one sketch where he avoids a speeding ticket by pretending to rush Mister Dead to the mortuary. The opening ditty is a parody of the original "Mr Ed" song: "He lives in box, he looks like a corpse. He's dead of course!".
