John Cleese in more than one episode

It's been a long time since I've seen it but he plays a criminal mastermind who steals a nuclear bomb and leaves a calling card whenever he commits the crime. There is one episode where he has an altercation with a man played by Nicky Henson (who played the obnoxious man with the Egyptian fertility charm in Fawlty Towers) and then later Henson's character is found dead with the calling card clenched between his buttocks... Ow. Then there is a later episode where he realises that he has lost the bomb he has stolen and goes on a manic search to find it... (I won't give away what happens.)

Maria Charles is also in it as an old woman in Israel who Cleese's character shoves in a ditch, Steve Frost and Mark Arden turn up as a couple of incompetent SAS men who try and kidnap the Shah, David Kelly is the Shah's blindfold manservant and Bruce Boa, I think, (the American in that episode of Fawlty Towers) was a gay American general.

A good series: they should release it on DVD. It sent up everyone, so nobody should be offended.
