The 'Archie' thing is basically due to the real name of that great actor Cary Grant being Archibald Leach.

You are both correct. The late great Cary Grant was christened Archibald Leach but Hollywood producers suggested he needed a more suitable moniker befitting of a Hollywood superstar.
John Cleese's character name, Archie Leach, was Cary Grant's real name (ArchibaldLeach). John named his character himself as a tribute because they were born in towns near to each other.

Bloody peaks and troughs you said RT. I don't know what these peaks are that you speak of but I'm getting very familiar with the troughs!
I'm on the verge of giving up.
