View source for Big Ted

The largest, ugliest, dirtiest Biker of the Repocalypse, and the one most prone to displays of needless physical violence. His alias in the great ride down the M6 in {{GO}} is Grievous Bodily Harm.

At first disposed to psychotic violence by the sight of a mere female ([[War (Good Omens)|War]]) in bike leathers and raiding a bike as if she's ''entitled'' to it or something, a neuron or two are fired into attention by the [[Death (Good Omens)|Tall Dark Stranger]] who has hitherto been cleaning up on the Trivial Pursuit machine.  As Big Ted is a [[Blue Öyster Cult]] fan, he recognises the tall dark stranger instantly owing to his guest appearance on an LP sleeve... and thus are born the [[Four Other Riders Of The Apocalypse]]

== Annotation ==
Big Ted is the name of one of the teddy bears on the long-running BBC childrens' TV show [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_School_%28UK_TV_series%29 Play School.]

The [[Blue Öyster Cult]] LP sleeve referred to could be ''Secret Treaties'' (1974) where the group are posed alongside a German ME-262 fighter jet of 1943. (Heavy metal stompfest ''ME-262'' is also the LP's big setpiece number).  But who is that rather under-nourished looking pilot in the cockpit? (The band's hooked cross logo adorns the plane where the original had German crosses and swastikas: the Chronos symbol is also associated with Death, and makes him a natural pilot.)

Thee is also the live LP ''Some Enchanted Evening'' from 1977, where Death (and Binky) are posed dramatically against a desert skyline. The harness and tack are seen to be decorated with the Chronos logo which appears as bridle, bit, linking piece, et c. 

Death also appears on the 1990's "greatest hits" LP, ''Cult Classics'', in a very telling manner that makes the observer  wonder if the band members have read {{RM}} and are returning a compliment for several plugs in the Discworld canon.
