I saw him on the jubilee line in London many years ago. He had a carrier bag from a fancy dress company.

Thanks for the heads up David. I have just watched it and laughed out loud when I saw that there was a tactical deployment of a bookmark to cover up a certain character on the Beano masthead.
I started to say something sensible but my parents took over my brain!
