Son of Cliche

Would love to hear Grant Naylor's Cliche and Son of Cliche again, featuring such characters as Captain Invisible and the See-Through Kid (a pure radio idea) and Asso: Spanish Detective ("I zoomed off in my car ... then opened the window and drove away") and, best of all, a sketch which imagined rival fans of Arnold Wesker and Tom Stoppard like Chelsea and Millwall supporters. Can't remember verbatim, but something like: "We don't want no trouble, but anyone who questions Arnold's use of metaphor is asking to have their heads kicked in." I also seem to recall, possibly in one of the Captain Invisible sketches, some underpants which contracted upon contact with body heat ("You fiend!")
