Roderick Spode is a character who makes appearances at odd times, making speeches to his couple dozen followers, blabbing on in the park and bamboozling naive passersby, blowing up at people, practicing his demagogic delivery style. A handful of people take him seriously but mostly he and his "brownshort" followers are merely a source of amusement and annoyance to the London scene.
