Linda Smith: Two actor friends of mine were in this, like, a pantomime version of The Wind in the Willows. And one was the Badger, and one was Toad. And they didn’t really get on, they were getting on quite badly. So, obviously, there’s quite a long section of the show where Badger is nagging Toad - you know, to change his ways. And one day, my friend, who was the Toad, just got really, really drunk, and he turned up for the afternoon show, and Badger started telling him off, saying, “You’ve got to mend your ways!” And he just said, “You fuck off, you stripy bastard.”
best.
