    To be fair, Varney came up with the character, so why not keep using it?

    Do you know he started as a Shakespearian actor? He actually had a huge amount of range, which you can see in the highly underrated Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam.

    Here’s him doing a bit of Shakespeare and then being a bit silly:

      Dr Otto is a regular in our family. Mr Varney has been revered by us for years. Glad to know others do as well.

      I did! That’s how I learned it started as a character for ads.

      A great character. Also, the micro machines guy has to be included in the Advengers.
