Adrian Edmondson portrays the title character. Gregory really loves "Silence of the Lambs" and has decided that he wants to be a serial killer... unfortunately he's really bad at it. The focus keeps switching from Gregory's pathetic attempts to successfully stalk and murder a woman, to a pretty faithful send-up of "Lambs". Adrian delivers the performance beautifully. You really feel sorry for him. Keith Allen is in fine form as the Hannibal-like killer in solitary confinement. He sings a little song that, although cheesy, is also irritatingly catchy (I only have one face and that face is real). It leads up to a rather unsettling spoof of the final seen in "Lambs" whilst Gregory has finally managed to capture his first victim... but will he have the guts to go through with the killing? This is one of the best Comic Strip episodes ever.
