DeviantArt Description- Alan B'Stard

'Alan Beresford B'Stard MP was created by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, but He was brought to live by actor and comedian Rik Mayall in the British ITV sitcom The New Statesman. He was a mainly satire of several Tory Politicians of the time, B'Stard served as both a member of British Parliament and later European Parliament.

Alan's list of crimes include no particular order but are not limit too.

Maiming and Murdering his opponents.

Blackmailing and Bribing several Colleagues

Dumping Radioactive Waste under a primary school.

Various lewd and immoral sexual escapades.

Also the brutal torture of an innocent Teddy Bear.

Just name a few his crimes it's safe to say B'Stard was far more evil then several politicians at that time ever thought of being, Marks, Gran and Mayall would revisit their creations years later in a 2007 Stage play. We would find that Alan had crossed the floor joining the Labour Party and had been secretly pulling the strings of the then current cabinet. Alan B'Stard would finally pass away in 2014 a fate that would coincide with the death of his actor Rik Mayall. Sadly both Comedically and somewhat Chillingly the character is more relevant now then when he was first created, as many politicians across world can calm to be the real life B'Stard.'

I saw a chalkboard and a set of chalk laying around so decided to make two drawings; The First drawing is the favorite vehicle and home of choice for everyone's timelord The Doctor.

Here's my second drawing A Pot of Gold at the end of a chalk Rainbow; Since St. Patrick's Day is coming up I felt it would be very appropriate.

I present my drawing of Captain Mainwaring from the British Sitcom Dad's Army, He is a Bank Manager and World War Two Home Guard Platoon Leader. George Mainwaring was created by David Croft and Jimmy Perry, but was skillfully brought to life by actor Arthur Lowe.

George Mainwaring is a man trying to prove himself and his country that he deserves respect, since he is unlikely to serve in a unit overseas do to his reserved occupation as a Bank Manager being essential to the war effort. Nonetheless Captain Mainwaring and his men are willing any challenge thrown at them with a brave stiff upper lip and a bold sense of determination.

Here's a drawing I did of Comedian and Actress Miranda Hart and here it is side-by-side with its reference photo.
