* ExpositoryThemeTune: The opening and closing themes sung by [[Creator/MontyPython Eric Idle]] describe Victor quite well. ("It's true that my body has seen better days / But give me half a chance and I can still misbehave") -- though not ''all'' of it applies to him: "I have to pop my teeth in to chew" is completely wrong, for instance, and when the BBC released a set of TV soundtracks as a CD, the blurb on the back actually went to the trouble of pointing out how inaccurate some of the other lines are. The extra lyrics to the ExtendedThemeTune (which Idle wrote with the benefit of having actually seen the show) are more specific to him and further mirror Victor's defiance.
