Behind the scenes
Although unnamed in the Tom Baker sketch, the character seen is Julius Pringles, the mascot of Pringles. Interestingly, Julius Pringles's name was originally a case of citogenesis. In 2006, it was added to Wikipedia as an internet hoax, leading to extensive media coverage of this claim, until the company finally embraced the name which had been chosen for their mascot, in 2013.
