    Always hilarious in everything he does. He thinks he couldn't have joined the Python team because he isn't that good. He's right, he's much better. hide show

    Always typecast as himself in "the Goodies". Tim never wrote that many episodes, but he fits into Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie's script better than ever.
    No one realises just how big the Goodies was as a live action cartoon.
    But moving away from the Goodies, his role in the 2002 show Tlc fits almost exactly the same as he does in most roles.
    His poncy patriotic character make him one of the greatest actors of all time!
