But his finest hour, surely, came with this surreal guest appearance on Gordon Ramsay's The F-Word.

Those punkin' instigators in the Prodigy are back, and they've got an awfully stern warning for all who dare intrude. Invaders Must Die is the band's fifth studio LP, due March 2 in the UK and March 3 in the States on the band's own Take Me to the Hospital imprint, via Cooking Vinyl.
