Pure Dead Brilliant (Pure Dead, 3)

Product Information

Other minor characters include the posse of surgeons, nurses etc. in the hospital where Don Lucifer's nose job takes place and numerous policemen. Titus, son of the above. Twelve during the series Titus is something of a computer geek. His laptop has been used for, amongst other things, growing rather a lot of small pink clones, and receiving video clips from the future. Titus loves food, especially raspberry muffins. He has/had a band. Titus is terrified of spiders but unlike most arachnophobics seems willing to tolerate them when he has to. It follows the airport’s long struggle with its own identity during the last decade and the much maligned “Pure Dead Brilliant” tagline adopted by previous owners Infratil. The show centred on hapless banker Willie Melvin and his misguided belief that he is destined to become a successful writer. Always there to bring him down to earth with a Glasgow banter bang are a wonderful collection of characters, not least his sharp tongued Mum, dodgy pal Chancer, toady colleague Brian, smug boss McCleland and the super dopey Tam.

I also loved the way that 'Mum' played so well by Jan Wilson, never did the 'mum' thing of encouraging Willie's writing career.

He accidentally loses the Chronostone and the plot of Pure Dead Brilliant concerns his quest to regain it for his Boss. He disguises himself as a beautiful witch named Fiamma D'Infer to do so, but after his/her failure he is reincarnated as a gnat in punishment and later becomes imprisoned in amber.

Might be heard from someone who angry with someone else and to whom they are “Going to give a doing”. Attila The Bun - One of the four gangsters hired to take out Titus Strega-Borgia, and anyone who stands in their way, in Don Lucifer's attempt to steal Titus' fortune. Always sports a full rabbit suit, which causes chaos on the journey to StregaSchloss. Attila the Bun was then devoured by Knot, the yeti. Riddy: If someone “takes a riddy”, it means that their face has gotten very red, most likely because they are very embarassed.Although from very different eras and set-ups essentially the large collection of characters and sharp put-downs are similar in spirit to the more recent and also much loved Still Game. And asides from the main cast members (mostly stalwarts of Naked Video and Rab C Nesbitt) there were all sort of guest appearances from 'faces' of the Scottish comedy and general acting fraternity, not least Billy Connolly.

The best-known stunt was a scene similar to one featured in the film Casino Royale and featured both a Ford Mondeo and a Citroën 2CV parked behind the engines of a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-400, in an experiment to investigate whether the thrust from the aircraft's four jet engines really could lift a car off the ground.

Damp has a bat familiar called Vesper. She is a messy little girl who loves colours and glitter but in Pure Dead Brilliant she is revealed to grow up to be an arrogant and haughty individual. (This may change, seeing as that was the future in which Titus died, and was changed before the events starting to lead to that occurred.)
