No, I was referring to "Bambi" because when they go on University
Challenge, they sit in podiums with their names printed in large
letters on them.  Thus, one may plainly see that "Vivian" is, in
actuality, "Vyvyan."  Of course, poor old "Rick" had a "P" prepended
to his moniker.

"Bambi" has to be my favorite, because it features Motorhead, Vyvyan's
best line ever ("This calls for a very special blend of psychology and
extreme violence"), Rick attempting to kill himself by ingesting too
many laxative pills, a Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy joke, the
"Pig/Ferret" scene, and, of course, Vyvyan grenading all of Footlights
College.
