    If Hector's House was the one with Humphrey furkin Cushion, it was the worst pile of patronising tulipe on the telly. Those were my exact thoughts when I was four years old.

    When I was six years old I revised my list; Pipkins was the worst pile of patronising tulipe on the telly, specifically because of Hartley furkin Hare.

    As credentials for showing I had precocious but top class taste, I knew Rainbow would be an all-time student classic by the time I was 7.

    Mistake Hector's House for the herbidacious Herb Garden. Jeez. How could you? And Oliver Postgate barely cold in his grave, too.

    No. There is NO forgiveness.

    As crimes go, there cannot be many more heinous, I beg forgiveness from the members here present. I can't imagine what I was thinking at the time - I clearly can't multitask. Everyone knows Kikki was Hector's bit on the side in Hector's House and had nothing to do with the Herb Garden.

    None other than the fictional detective (Poirot)
    Despise the concept of political parties
    Too many to choose one
    Oregano (yes I did understand the Kiki reference and nearly voted ZaZa)
    Ronnie Barker (Eric Morecambe and Dave Allen are incredibly close joint seconds, but Barker wrote many sketches and series under nom de plumes as well as being downright superb)

    Nice if tricky selection of questions to answer.

    Oi Bowser! is publishing your poor taste more important than returning my call?
