But surely the post counting thread was a dead giveaway?

It all makes sense now, Sgt. That’s why he used to be “Sir Actor.”
“The Count’s main purpose is educating children on simple mathematical concepts, most notably counting. The Count has a love of counting (arithmomania); he will count anything and everything, regardless of size, amount, or how much annoyance he is causing the other Muppets or human cast.
For instance, he once prevented Ernie from answering a telephone because he wanted to continue counting the number of rings. Another time, while serving as an elevator operator, he refused to let Kermit the Frog get out at his selected floor so he could count on every floor in the building.
His favorite number is 230, which is referring to an inside joke about the time 2:30. The Count mentions 2:30 at an any chance he can get and often makes jokes about it. During the afternoon, his segments of the show always come on at exactly 2:30 p.m. or during the “fashionably late” segment, which airs at 2:31.
The Count lives in an old, cobweb-infested castle which he shares with many bats. Sometimes he counts them. Some of the pet bats are named, including Grisha, Misha, Sasha, and Tatiana. He has a cat, Fatatita, as well. Sometimes he counts her. He also drives a special car designed in the features of a bat, named the Countmobile.
The Count has been shown with a number of girlfriends. Always a feminized version of the Count Muppet, they have included Countess von Backwards (debuting in Sesame Street’s 28th season) who counts backwards; Countess Dahling von Dahling (debuted in the 12th season), and one simply named “The Countess, first appearing in season 8. The von Count family also includes an unnamed brother and mother as well as an Uncle Uno and grandparents.”

I loved the Zola Budd trip in the Mr Bean running on the beach bit.
Yes, Chariots is a great theme tinks.
I am happy they included Elgar’s NIMROD in proceedings, although it was rather early and subsequently as a background motif.
I would have liked to hear it full on in all it’s glory.
It really is a majestic piece of work, truly inspiring.. and one more reason for you Britlanders to be proud :twisted::wink:
Here’s a fantastic version of it..
