Roderick Spode, 7th Earl of Sidcup, often known as Spode or Lord Sidcup, is a recurring fictional character from the Jeeves novels of British comic writer P. G. Wodehouse, being an "amateur dictator" and the leader of a fictional fascist group in London called The Black Shorts. In the 1990s television series, Jeeves and Wooster, he is portrayed by John Turner and depicted as having a rather Hitleresque appearance.
Overview
Spode is a large and intimidating figure, appearing "as if Nature had intended to make a gorilla, and had changed its mind at the last moment". He is constantly in love with Madeline Bassett, and though he intended to remain a bachelor during his career as a dictator, he nevertheless attempted to protect her from men "playing fast and loose"; to this end, he threatened on several occasions to beat Bertie Wooster and Gussie Fink-Nottle to a jelly. He marches his followers around London and the countryside, preaching loudly to the public on the dissoluteness of modern society until a heckler hits him in the eye with a potato (reinterpreted in the TV series as turnips thrown by Barmy and Tuppy).
Roderick Spode, amateur dictator, addresses a rally of the Blackshorts, touching on burning issues of the day: root vegetables and knee measurements.

i inhale take it in the hate the anger it clouds my thinking it pulls me under further further my eyes lose sight my ears grow deaf my mouth is gagged i exhale get rid of confusion returning my focus i try to keep my grip closer closer lights come on to kill the black festering inside i inhale i choke i exhale i choke i crawl you kick i choke on hope if i, swallow everything that you give to me i would vomit on this world i see your delight in my mistakes using my shortcomings to your full advantage you're full i'm empty the story old and stale a thousand times over torn to laugh
