Eddie Monsoon was supposed to feature in the first season of The Comic Strip Presents (1982) in an episode called "Back to Normal with Eddie Monsoon". It was never filmed as it was considered too vulgar even for the "alternative" Channel 4 and contained material that was possibly libelous.
The name Eddie Monsoon is a play on the surname of name of Adrian Edmondson. The name was adapted to Edina Monsoon, the lead character of Absolutely Fabulous (1992) played by Edmonson's wife Jennifer Saunders.
