1. Bluebottle

   Bluebottle is a comedy character from the Goon Show, a 1950s British comedy radio show. The character was created and performed by Peter Sellers. Bluebottle is an adenoidal squeaky-voiced boy scout from East Finchley. He was noted for reading his own stage directions out loud, and was always greeted with a deliberate round of applause from the audience As was common with Goon Show characters, Sellers' Bluebottle was paired with a Spike Milligan character, usually Eccles. Bluebottle is also prone to humorous misnaming of characters, including himself. For example, he has referred to himself as "Bluebontle" and "Blatbottle" on occasion. Other characters are often misnamed as well, including "Count Morinanty" for Count Jim Moriarty, "Robin Chood" for Robin Hood and "Miss Balustrade" for Minnie Bannister. Neddie is always "My Captain", pronounced with four syllables [ma-cap-i-tain]. In The Yehti he reads his own name and pronounces the result "Blunbintle".
