[edit] Recurring characters
- The only named regular character is China Lion, a china ornament owned by a crazy German lady. In each of its occurances, the German lady describes how she came by China Lion, each time in different, very strange circumstances. Their adventures are usually very peculiar as well i.e. the German owner pretends to have a stroke.
- A Russian or Eastern European couple who are infatuated with Daniel Bedingfield. All they tend to do is talk about Daniel Bedingfield or make meagre meals from several potatoes.
