"Blackadders" sidekick in all four series of aforementioned "Blackadder",

John Cleese
Although he will have worn many a fake upper lip piece in his "Python" days, his
genuine 'tache can be found in a terrible hotel in Torquay.

William Conrad
Corpulent cheeky P.I. accompanied by equally cheeky tuba sound-track in late
70's detective drama Cannon.
Bernard Cribbins
Wore a good 'un in "Fawlty Towers".
Dick Dastardly
As his name suggests he is literally a "dastardly" character. His attempts to
win "Wacky Races" usually end in tears, even though he happens to be miles ahead
of anyone at the time. Has a cracking pencil style handlebar-Superb. Probably
based on moustachioed cad
Mister Terry Thomas.
Dennis
Comedy gonk in "Heartbreak High", terrible yet addictive (like crack?)
Aussie-High School drama type thing. Inexplicably grew a cracking blonde bum
fluff effort, this picture is terrible so if anyone has any better ones let us
know.

Alter egos of "Reeves and Mortimer", donned amusing gaffer tape moustaches
whilst interviewing micro-celebrities, and falling about laughing.
Tony Farrino
Steve Coogan's "Italian Stallion" lounge crooner, makes songs

a similar whispy pencil to that of Dastardly.

Sweaty copper in "N.Y.P.D. Blue"
Michael Fish
T.V. Weather man of cult status-possibly due to his trustworthy, and
conservative greying
"executive".
Alf Garnet
Cockney bigot, saving grace of fine 'tache teamed with a bald
head.
Geraldo
Smooth talking latino talk show host, a touch smarmy for some tastes.
Terry Gilliam
Another "Python" member who was a consistent user of the fake moustache, which
we in the office wholeheartedly support. We obviously see the real thing as
superior, however there are times and places when a fake can come in handy.
Ted Glenn
"Hallo Pat" said Greendale's all round handy man and good egg; he was always to
be found in the right place at the right time, and Pat was very relived to see
him. Whenever Pat had broken something Teds cry was "Leave it with me!". A great
man and a joy to watch at work.

Inept landlord wed to Mildred lived under two birds and onebloke in the 70's
classic "Man About the House" before gaining his own series.
Gordon
Wise and friendly father figure of "Sesame Street" gone for the Errol Brown-Bald
and 'Tache-equally happy minding young N.Y. children or talking to flourescent
monsters of many hues.

Life".
Bernard Hill
"Yosser Hughes" in Alan Bleasdales gritty northern dole drama
"Boys from the Blackstuff".
Howard
One half of drippy comedy double act; "Howard & Hilda"
in "Ever Decreasing Circles" combined his greying 'tache with amusing shell
suits, like his wife Hilda, except she never had a 'tache.
Eric Idle
Yet another "Python" with a 'tache fixation. Best work is considered to be, the
Moustache sketch in which said facial adornment dissapears and reappears.
David Jason
Graduated from "Open all Hours" under the guiding hand of moustache giant
Barker, and has gone on tho develop his own stlye in "Frost".
David Jatt
Fake interviewer from "Brass Eye", with an obviously fraudulent thick, black
number. Managed to convince Carla Lane that the Iraqis fire cows from enormous
tubes.
Cpl Jack Jones
Buffoon Butcher found in Warmington on Sea, acting as part time Home Guard
Corporal. The moustache in question, helped Clive Dunn to achieve the look of a
panic-striken old man, when in actual fact the actor was a lot younger. (He was
27!)
Col. K
Old and Wise military Walrus (an actual walrus, or hamster if you listen to the
rumours), in charge of International Spy organisation in "Danger Mouse". His
secret offices were located under a post box, just by Big Ben in London.

Evil Michael Knight

he has a cosmetically enhanced evil doppleganger, who is intent on destroying
both Michael and KITT. No photographic evidence exists of this phenomenon, so
here's one we made earlier.Evil
Michael Knight
Eric Knowles
Foppish antiques expert on daytime television. Assists what was Michael
Parkinson, who has now been sadly usurped by Michael Aspel, on "Going For a
Song". (Come back Penny Smith!)
Monsieur Alphonse
Right, this is Kenneth Connor who played Alphonse in 'Allo 'Allo. Now that is
sorted out.
Monsieur L'Eclerc
UPDATE thanks to a MR Clews, L'Eclerc was not played by Connor but by Jack Haig,
and others.
Another graduate of the "'Allo 'Allo" school for decrepid moustaches, played by
Haig. "Ooohhhh, my dicky ticker!"
Hawk
One half of the terrifying wrestling duo "Legion of Doom", who were renowned for
their spiky black and red armour.
Tosh Lines
Slightly over worked northern copper, working in the big smoke (Well...Sun
Hill!) with a dark brown, droopy Jason King-esque number.
Lou
Dopey black cop, with deep Sly Stallone style voice, wears a small mouth ferret,
whilst assisting his boss Chief Clancy Wiggum, in doing very little around
Springfield.
Des Lynam
Unflappable T.V. sports God. Smooth as silk and house wives favourite.
Captain Mainwaring
Another incumbent of Warmington-On-Sea. By day, a mild mannered bank manager,
and by night a power crazed despot captain at the command of an elite crack unit
of hardened assasins, ready to tan the hide of the hun.
The Major
One of the most constantly amusing guests at "Fawlty Towers", due to his shell
shocked amnesia-ridden mind. Most likely to bellow "Morning Fawlty!" to fellow
moustache touter Basil right in the middle of a ridiculously convoluted
situation.
Maid Marion
Another addition to our small list of moustachioed females, the real hero of
Sherwood Forest as depicted in "Maid Marion and her Merry Men"
Mark
The majority of viewers may not remember the Chief's black assistant wearing any
form of top lip hair snake, but we can asure you that in later series of "Ironside",
Marks hair and tache gradually followed in the fashion footsteps of the early
70's.

Christopher Morris' alter-ego, hilarious roving reporter,covering the
ground-breaking stories of the day in "Brass Eye". A glorious greying handlebar
accompanied by a mop of whispy grey locks.
Rik Mayall
Outrageous sexually charged WWI hero pilot "Flash-Heart" in "Blackadder Goes
Forth"
Fulton McKay
Star of "Porridge" and "Fraggle Rock", as the lighthouse keeper and owner of
"Sprocket" the Dog. Other 'taches he has worked with include; Uncle Travelling
Matt and one of the head "Dozers", who sported a small, but fierce "toothbrush"
under his mining helmet.
Trevor McDonald
Nation's favourite news reading 'tache. Found on the "10 o'clock News" and
"Tonight with Trevor McDonald".
Jim McDonald
No relation to the above McDonald. Wheelchair bound Irish ex-forces type,
murderer of Jez Quigley.Scrawny upper lip plumage.
Tim McKinnerny
Plays smug upper-class military twit "Captain Darling" in "Blackadder Goes
Forth", assisting the incomparable "General Melchett", in inventing schemes of
misfortune for Blackadder to complete. The "Darling" joke never seems to run out
of steam, and the character is accompanied by 'taches owned by Blackadder,
Melchett, Flashheart, and a slug balancing Baldrick.
General Melchett
"The Melchett" a splendid piece of face furniture from the boy "Fry", appearing
as pompous W.W.I. General. Unfortunately we cannot find any pictures of this
classic so please send any you have to us.
Mr Men:
Mr Slow, Mr Clumsy, Mr Fussy. These three "Good Old Boys" show the rest of the
Mr Men how they should attire their top lips, not to sure about Clumsys effort
though.
Gary Mullen
Freddie Mercury on "Stars in Their Eyes" wonderful T.V. moment.
Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Mister Nahasapeemapetilon is the lease holder of the "Kwik-E-Mart" in
Springfield. A founder member of the "B-Sharps", and all round face about town.
His brother Sanjay Nahasapeemapetilon may also have one. They must run in the
Nahasapeemapetilon family.
No More Horses
Fantastic Mexican chap from the "Old El Paso" advert, what can be said about
such a man in the brief space we have here, not a lot apart from superb! I know
this will mean little to many of you out there but I believe him to be a God, so
there.
Obelix
Asterix's obese sidekick, fell in a vat of potion as a youngster, making his
strength almost super-human.
Michael Palin
The most likely member of the Python team to have actually had a real moustache
at the time. Many solo hair ornaments were used in sketches, including the
original Marriage Guidance Counsellor sketch and as the owner of the pet shop in
the Parrot sketch.
Alan Partridge
Another Steve Coogan alter ego and probably his most amusing.
Mickey Pearce
"The Mickey Pearce" can be regarded as a true innovater of the Pencil genre,
only spotted on cockney spiv types. (See also Private Walker in "Dad's Army"!)
Captain Peacock
Dapper department-store don, proud owner of a military style wannabe handlebar
in "Are You Being Served?"
Matthew Perry
Alleged appearance in some sit-com program on Channel 4. Possibly as elusive as
"The Beale".
In a similar vain to Terry Thomas, but far more saucy and blue, the man not the
'tache. A classic character actor to be found in almost any
British made film in the 60's and 70's, along side John Le Mesurier, who sadly
never dabbled in facial topiary!
Hercule Poirot
Ludicrous Belgian creation of Agatha Christie, sports a cheeky, carefully
groomed wax laden mini-handlebar. In the television series, David Suchet
(brother of John-the Channel 4 news reader!) even sleeps with a specially
crafted moustache sling, to protect it.
Eric Pollard
Conniving Yorkshireman from the village of "Emmerdale", always up to some
financial scam or another, usually backfiring.(Perhaps seen as a more complex
and not so 2D version of Dick Dastardly).
Brian Potter
The crippled owner/manager of the Phoenix Club, superbly played by Peter Kay
Cardinal Richelieu
Nicknamed "The Black Moustache", arch-nemesis of "Dogtanian".
Rigadon
Sidekick of Willy Fogg in the cartoon version of "Around the World in 80 days".
Has been described as a mole, and a hamster, but it seems to us that it's
perfectly clear he's a cat type bear creature.
Ted Roach
Grumpy copper from Sun Hill, in it's half hour days.
Mr Rusty
Magnificently moustachioed industrial sized grey
broom, on the heavily weighted lip of the young lad Rusty. This would surely be
a hindrance in the revolution of the "Magic Roundabout".
Andrew Sachs
Now a regular in the world of BBC narration, Sachs was once to be found in the
inhospitable environs of Torquay. He was seen in his winter plumage sporting a
cheeky Spanish "tapas-duster" accompanying "The Cleese" and "The Major" at "Fawlty
Towers".
Yosemite Sam
Demented cartoon cowboy, (although has been known to dress up for Bugs
Bunny!)with impressively droopy flaming red hair horseshoe.
Tom Selleck
UPDATED Yes we have been put right on the old Miami/Hawaii debacle we
truly apologise for any distress caused."The Selleck" is obviously one of the
most famous and renowned 'taches, known and loved throughout the Western World.
First came to prominence in "Magnum P.I.", where he lounged about in a Hawaii
mansion, belonging to a millionaire who was always away on business, solving the
occasional crime.
Paul Shane
Played "Ted Bovis", the regular camp stand-up in "Hi De Hi!".
Shopkeeper-Mister Benn
This mysterious little man ran the costume shop in Festival Road, regularly
frequented by none other than "Mr. Benn". Never complained when the boy Benn
left without paying, after visiting random historical locations in his time
machine-enhanced dressing room. Teamed a classic red fez with a
"toothbrush"-nice combination!
Sgt Slaughter
Another grappling "lip-garden", from the vaults of W.W.F.
Terry
Unfortunate Scouse gent., modelling the classic Scouse 'tache- black, bushy
number - in "Brookside".
Nigel Thornberry
This debonair wildlife expert can be found in T.V.s "The Wild Thornberrys" with
his-animal talking to daughter, and a good monkey.
Uncle Travelling Matt
Inept exploring "Fraggle" sending regular postcards detailing his mis-adventures,
from around the globe, to "Fraggle Rock". Wears a marvellous piece of "furry
facial fauna", accompanied
by a pith helmet and matching khakis. A Fraggle version of
Albert Schweitser.
Dick Van Dyke
Stars with his son Barry in "Mortuary Assistant P.I." or something, in the
Ironside/Quincy/Bergerac/Columbo/Petrochelli/Perry Mason slot, on daytime BBC1,
with now silver 'tache and hair combo.
Sam Waldren
Another Greendale regular to be found driving the country lanes in his mobile
grocery van. Sports a fruity full bodied pencil.
Jack Warden
Played the old street wise private eye, Harry Fox in "Crazy Like a Fox".
Constant bickering with his yuppie lawyer son, provided the laughs in this short
run U.S. classic.
The Warlord
Yet another wrestler with a 'tache which proves that a well groomed lip ferret
can make you look even harder.
Dr Watson
Played by a number of actors throughout the latter half of the 20th century, but
always consistantly with a "hairy mouth awning". Most Watsons seem to have been
the real brains of the detecting duo, with the exception of Nigel Bruce, (Basil
Rathbone's Watson) a magnificent blundering oaf of a man.
Montel Williams
Black empathetic U.S. talk show host, in the "Errol Brown" school of 'taches.
Lofty Wiseman
Ex S.A.S. hard man currently employed as general "shouter atter" on survival
type programmes, how the mighty etc...
Steve Wright
Radio Disc Jockey of some repute, hosted "The Steve Wright People Show" on T.V.
as well as numerous radio programmes. A very passable "cookie duster".
Zebedee
Curious bouncing thing that hung around "The Magic Roundabout" and said when it
was "Time for bed". Magical Roundabout-Magical Handlebar
