Derek Deadman at 1:35 who played Robert and I think at 1:39 it's Mike Edmonds who played Og, though I could be wrong on that one. Both have been in loads of other things too. The song is based on the cartoon character "Grimly Feendish - The Rottenest crook in the World!" an incompetent master criminal.
