The Adventures of Scrumpy the Viking/Characters

Due to the rambling nature of the program - an episode would be written on Friday morning and would be performed on Saturday or Sunday with props finished on Friday night - the plot generally wavered between "incoherent" and "schizoid." Scrumpy - who was played by a total of forty-six different Swedish immigrants (people with no experience whatsoever in the acting field, no control over accents, etc.) and Kantonian or Second Life or Eruowoodian actors over the series' run, including two identical twins and former Beatles member Ringo Starr (before he became the narrator of Seasons 1-2 of Thomas & Friends) - faced down a battery of villains with a high rate of Viking kidnappings. The only permanent villain, Juan the Evil Aztec, died a total of a hundred-and-twenty times over the series. These deaths were neither retconned nor explained. He simply reappeared every time he was needed. Various other recurring characters included:
 * The Vikings, Olaf and Scrumpy's warriors. Despite their explicitly generic status, the Vikings were the only major characters aside from Olaf the Viking Pack Leader and Juan the Evil Aztec never played by more than Swedish man or woman or a actor or actress.
 * Other Vikings, who had names like "Snoggletog" and "Maurecia". Interestingly, the Viking costumes didn't actually fit anybody quite right.
 * Blakely, an individual of highly indeterminate status. Played by an Kantonian expat using an incredibly bad Swedish accent, Blakely was generally seen riding around on a pony with the Vikings, thus allowing him to use the carpool lanes on highways.
