...were as memorable as the major ones. Beaver's sidekick Larry Mondello looked and acted like a pint-size W.C. Fields. Wally's chum Lumpy Rutherford was just that. And of course there was the incomparable Eddie Haskell (Ken Osmond). If Mayfield was Eden, Eddie was the serpent slyly tempting Beaver to bite the apple of mischief. A leering skull dressed in a cardigan sweater, Eddie was smarmy to his elders and sneering to his peers. "Hey, Wally, if your gunky brother comes with us, I'm gonna Oh, hello, Mrs. Cleaver, I was just telling Wallace...
Moko speaks as a tribal skeptic. If Livingstone's God is potent, why do the rains not come? Barred from Sechele's bed, she slithers back into it like a serpent of old Nile.

So far, at least, the Argies and the Brits have acted like the best of pals...
...plot action goes, the four are practically interchangeable. But the four strong actors who play them differ in manner and style as much as appearance, each marking out a distinctive character. Mark Morland as the already famous Richard stands tall and regal; Joel Dando makes of Geoffrey the conniving serpent his actions prove him, but every detail of gait and intonation inspire empathy as well for a tortured, constantly overlooked middle child. The meatiest role of the three is probably that of John, the obnoxious teenager utterly scorned by siblings and parents alike, and Justin Richardson treads the fine line...
