I couldn't help thinking of him and his love for odd names for groups, 
and purple prose describing them, when I read this

There are plenty of other names - like Freq Nasty, Scratch Perverts and 
Perhaps Contraption (who've been described as "seriously high grade, 
tetrahedron-shaped, hard-boiled bendy pronk", in case you needed some 
help there) ...

in the editorial (p. 3) of last week's Radio Times (27 July-3 July 
2009).
