I'm not sure if "famed" is the right word, since even the Pernese seemed to forget about it relatively quickly ...
The answer is: the Dragons from Anne McCaffrey's "Pern" series.
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"
They're B.B. and The Brain ...

Our Leader is correct! Having a brain the size of a planet comes in handy!
And LL gets bonus points: "MoS,WoK" was mentioned in one of the "Callahan's Bar" short stories.
SoM is up!
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"

Sorry, forgot it was my question.
SoM is right, the Gemini Man. It was the second series attempt at adapting the Invisible Man. The first was The Invisible Man staring David McCellum (sp?) from Man from U.N.C.L.E..
You are up again SoM.

You fall and then get distracted before you hit the ground.

That'll do (I would also have accepted "Throw yourself at the ground. Miss." )

Thanks SoM. If memory serves me correctly, the “throw yourself at the floor, miss” was the prescribed method, but Arthur Dent did it the accidental way. It has been a bloomin’ long time since I’ve read it though, and I couldn’t remember the exact instructions.
Next Question:
What was the “April, May, June, July & August Fool” jape?
Hic!

Queeg  More specifically, the über-regimented Red Dwarf "backup computer," who was actually Holly in disguise

I thought that would be an easy one for you SoM, going by your sig.
One of the best Red Dwarf episodes IMHO.
Your go again, illustrious leader.

One more clue before I give it:
Other characters standing around them were green, gold, blue, orange and lilac respectively. And that was just the humanoids.
