I think Mike forgot who was Reginald.  I don't think they were both called 
Reginald, and the script seems to confirm this.  Of course, after the Mr. 
Gulliver/Clodagh Rogers/Trotsky/Eartha Kitt thing, I'm pretty sure Jones didn't 
know who he was playing, either. ;)

The short answer is, welcome to Python.  As I recall, that's the only time Mr. 
Gulliver's first name was used, so it could very well have been a slip.  
Characters occasionally change names mysteriously, sometimes due to the same 
character crossing sketches, two sketches being combined in the writing 
process, or simple errors in the scripts or performances.

Again, welcome to Python! :)
