Hey, Joxer...
kit...@aol.com
email you all sorts of silly questions and forward weird mail to you
and you'll be flooded with like a zillion e-friends...>>
Now, I'm sure that won't happen. Joxer the Mighty can feel secure in the
knowledge that his time won't be wasted and his privacy invaded. Not gonna
happen.
Oh by the way Joxer, I had a question... Maybe you can settle this once and
for all, it's been debated forever. Just _where_ did the name Enzo come
from? Is there a story there? All we've heard are theories...
Oh, and by the way forget what I said about wasting your time. Sorry!

I ain't the one you're asking, but I've seen "Enzo" used as a name elsewhere.
Maybe they just liked the sound of it, same as with "Bob"?
Or maybe not.

Enzo Ferrari. On the other hand, I don't have a clue. Like I said, just a
guess.

Alrighty then. Risk of losing my "mythical 'Reboot god' status" not withstanding,
here - because you demanded it - is the full and true story behind Enzo's name:
Waaaaaaaaay back when the show was still in development, and we were all still in
London, In-ger-land, Phil, Ian and I were having a creative meeting with Chris
Brough, our (at that time) shiny new Reboot Producer. He was telling us that it
would be important for the sale of the show to a US Network to have a 'kid' in it
for our young audience to relate to.
Now, it has to be said we weren't too happy about that idea. After all, we didn't
want no stoopid kid character 'ruining' our kick-butt, high-tech action show just
to appease the networks!
But Chris was adamant; "You have to have a kid... a little 'Enzo' running around
in there..." he said.
Well, we griped and moaned, but eventually we gave in, and Dot gained a little
brother. The name Enzo stuck because it was funny, and unusual - and besides, we'd
think of something better later...
The rest, as they say, is history. From the moment he was added to the show Enzo
grew and grew on us. Now he's one of our favourite characters, and one of the most
fun to write for, both comedy and drama. He's the heart of the show - and the
fact that we love the little spud so much is another reason for his return at the
end of Season III!
So there you go - it's not a reference to anything, it's not a computer term, it's
simply the first kid's name that popped into Chris's head when he was telling us
the show needed a kid to make a sale. (Quite possibly because it was the nickname
he used to call his own son when he was young, but don't quote me on that teeny
bit of the story.)
From the moment we heard the name it it stuck, and now we couldn't imagine Enzo
being called anything else. And despite our initial reaction (which I hope doesn't
upset anyone!) we couldn't imagine the show without him!

Alphanumeric! I have to say, for those of us out here that are Enzo fans this
is a bit of a vindication. Hey - they like him too! How pixelacious is
that? Of course he's the heart of the show - it was obvious all along for
anyone who cared to see it...
