Ripper and President Merkin Muffley.

With William Hootkins as Major "King" Kong, Sean Barratt as General "Buck" Turgidson, Stuart Milligan as Colonel "Bat" Guano, Lorelei King as Captain "Ace" Owens, Nigel Anthony as Soviet Ambassador De Sadesky and Peter Whitman as Staines. Nigel Anthony and Teresa Gallagher are the Presenters.

This is a fantastic adaptation of both the book and the film. Kerry Shale masterfully inhabits the role of not only the psychotic Nazi Doctor but the weak as Water President and most of the other key players, each acted with style and aplomb.
