h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You forgot to mention her role in "Not only But also" where she kept Peter Cook awake banging on the window.

"Pewter - Pewter - you now how those bloody Swedes go on"

I cobbled my Filmography from several different sources and didnt' find the series listed anywhere. But I did a search online and found what you are referring to.

"Not Only... But Also" was a British comedy series from 1965-1970. The comedy team of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore had a popular comedy sketch called 'Greta-Bloody-Garbo.' This proves so popular that it was repeated in a 1990 video called 'Best of What's Left of... Not Only... But Also..."

IT looks like Garbo didn't actually appear in this sketch. But part of the humour was in taking a stately famous character like herself and portraying her as a niggling nuisance in the life of an ordinary bloke. Have I got that right, spebchob?

Garbo was also lampooned again in Not only...But Also... in a complete sketch dedicated to her.

Peter Cook plays the ethereal "Bargo", and the sketch ends with her character on a chair which is strapped to the top of a car, holding a megaphone and shouting "I vant to be alone".

Looks like your name should be Fragilis the Methodical.

Cook and Moore's series could be a bit uneven but the "Pete and Dud" chats were highlights and the Garbo one particularly good.

You're not the first one to make that pun, spebchob.

Thanks to both you and Tashalls for the contribution to the discussion. I hope I see both of those sketches someday.
