Re: Hurray for HedgeHogs
"Spiny Norman" was the 50 ft HedgeHog whom one of the Piranha Brothers was hallucinating (or not, it's always hard to tell in a Monty Python sketch). The Piranha Brothers were the subjects of a Monty Python "Investigative Journalism" report and were based on the actual lives of two real identical-twin gangsters whose lives were only occasionally less daft than their Python dopplegangers. Picture The Engineer and his brother as crime-lords.
To quote: "...at this time Dynsdale Piranha became increasingly erratic and convinced that he was being persecuted by a 50-foot high HedgeHog whom he called 'Spiny Norman'."
Latter on in the show, during a seemingly unrelated Terry Gilham cartoon, an enormous HedgeHog pops in from around the corner of a skyscraper. He menacingly intones "Dynsdale!" and starts chewing up the scenery.
