Ray McCooney

British Comedy: Little Britain (30 items)
list by Onion Jack

Ray is the owner of "Ye Olde Hotele" which is a hotel in either Edinburgh or Glasgow in Scotland. He is mad and often scares customers away from his hotel with his weird riddles and rhymes. He confuses people by never giving a straight answer, punctuating the pauses before, or after, his replies by briefly playing mysterious-sounding very short tunes, with rising notes towards the end, on his Picolillo (a sort of wooden flute; occasionally also on a miniature viola). He also has two midgets which occasionaly accompany him. Also believes anything electrical is controlled by 'sprites'.
