I posted in 2020 -

My inner sniggering schoolboy still fondly remembers
a radio-based parody of Arthur C. Clarke's
"Mysterious World" - from the Red Dwarf creators
I think, in series _Son of Cliche_ - where their
"Clarke", speaking from the place he called home -
specifically I think, Joe's Beach Bar, Sri Lanka (!) -
explained that "Abominable Snowman, Bigfoot, the Yeti"
was seen in many places around the world, but never in
Joe's Beach Bar, Sri Lanka. "That's why I live here."
