Dinsdale and Spiny Norman
Fred Riley
I've been racking my brains of late, but for the life of me I can't
remember which sketch Spiny Norman appeared in where he was searching
for Dinsdale. I think it was the same sketch, or program, which was a
spoof on East End gangland. Could some kind soul let me know what the
name of the sketch was, so I can download it from one of the MP WWW
sites, or perhaps even post the sketch(es) in full? TIA

The skit is probably called "Doug and Dinsdale Pirahna" or something
similar. It is a parody of the Kray twins gangland activities.
And what's more, he knew how to treat a female impersonator.

Many thanks to Greg and all the others who replied. With your help I've
found the sketch on the Python site in Oz
(http://www.dcscomp.com.au/sdp/sketches/index.htm).

It is indeed called "the pirahna brothers" sketch (Second series, episode
fourteen, amen), and don't forget that Spiny Norman appeared briefly
in a later episode (although that one I can't think of). :-)

Sorry, I don't recall the name of the sketch. It was about two
gangster brothers called the Piranha Brothers. Dinsdale, would
torture his victims with sarcasm and metaphor. Hope this rings
a bell.

No it isn't. It's called "The Piranha Brothers", it was part of Episode
Fourteen, the first of the second series, aired on September, 15th, 1970,
and recorded on July, 9th of the same year.

and, oh yeah. Spiny norman was a giant hedgehog that Dinsdale, a Piranha
brother, believed was constantly watching him. he believed that Norman was
living in an airport hangar, and had it bombed. this was besides his daily
activities of nailing peoples heads to various objects.

it is found in series 2, episode 1, aired sept. 15, 1970. It's the same
episode that the ministry of silly walks (one of the greatest python
sketches ever) can be found. It's also the episode before the spanish
inquisition.
