It is I Count Homogenized - Episode
Television (Full Length Episode) – 1983
Roughly four years after debuting on A Haunting We Will Go, Count Homogenized made a memorable re-entrance in his own series. This fifth episode has the simplicity of a good cartoon: disguised as a movable charity bin, the vampire endeavours to trick or talk his way past the local dairy owners, on his endless mission to make it to the milk supplies. Aside from Russell Smith in full comic flight as the Count, Lynda Milligan takes the New Zild accent in dramatic new directions as no-nonsense shopkeeper Rhonda Dearsley. Actor Russell Smith remembers his time playing the Count here.
Is it not I, Count Homogenized, the Mr Muscle of the masses, who is making your untidy footpath a fit place to place a foot?– Count Homogenized
