It wasn't until I'd finished my second lunchtime drink that I remembered the 1989 TV series 'Tutti Frutti'..I looked it up... and the lead guitarist played by Maurice Roeves who set himself on fire while playing guitar at the end of the last episode. It was a staggering image which my visitor was obviously attempting to re-enact in the most absurd way possible, but only suffered superficial burns instead of being reduced to charcoal.
