Yes, I often thought how many famous people that were in Filthy! Very impressive - they all probably wanted to work with comedy genius Mr Mayall!!

The Dating Agency woman (in Bottom) was Lisa Maxwell - she wasn't in FR&C. The 'stroke my pussy' woman was either Laura Allen or Cheryl Taylor (going by the credits - it doesn't say who's who)

And it was Jools Holland, not Roland Rivron, that appeared in the strip-club house band in the episode where Richie and Eddie rob the supermarket.

And you missed John Bird as Dingo Wucker from the last episode.

Ah, peas! I'll 'ave some of them buggers!

The drummer in the Peep show is Gilson Lavis, Jools Holland's band mate from Squeeze and Ben Elton himself has a non speaking role as one of the 'art crowd' at Eddie's exhibition.

Perry Benson, famous for playing Bones the short fat bloke with glasses in Operation Good Guys was also in FRC. And yes, John Bird, silly me for forgetting him.

This really is an impressive cast list for just 6 episodes of an apparently "failed" sitcom.
