Sir Kreemy Knut
A dapper gent, memorably monocled with cane and bowler hat, Sir Kreemy Knut first appeared in 1919 as the face of Sharps Toffee. The word knut, meaning a dedicated follower of fashion emerged around the time of the First World War. The 'real' Sir Kreemy was a variety entertainer who spent decades on end-of-the-pier shows before washing up on The Rest is Jollity, where his ill-mannered (and violent) altercation with Worth Matravers saw that early podcast banned temporarily on the Light Programme.
