Hey, how about that guy who played Dr. Bombay on _Bewitched_?  He fits your
description perfectly . . . oh wait--he's dead, too.  Then I vote for Bob
Hoskins as Pudding . . . oh wait--he's probably too short.  Benny Hill? 
Oops--he's dead, too.  Malcolm McDowell ( who plays Professor Pynchon on
some lame-o sitcom)?  Nah, not lumpy enough.  Is it just me, or are _all_
the possibly perfect candidates for Pudding dead Brits?
