Morris on GLR was wonderful. Listening to that silly bollocks on, I think, Friday afternoon with angry co-workers = a happy day in a shit job. I'll fondly remember the
“killed by a streak of frozen-piss, please play Mr Tambourine Man by William Shatner” Our Tune parody till the day Simon Bates dies.

Gets a whole section on his Wiki entry in-between “early life”
and “television career”. Shame on them for the scant mention that
he was James Bond #2.

Jam was a let down after Blue Jam. Only a couple of good new sketches, the Gush and Kilroy going insane, and the rest just didn't work on TV as opposed to the radio.

I've edited down City of Death. Cut out the majority of running-around Paris and the episode reprises. Worked great as a movie to show people who've never seen the classic show.

"Fear makes companions of us all" got a lump in my throat waiting for that line.

And the worst, add your own, we shite 'em out.

Obligatory recommendations for future old trad Brit-sit-com reviews:

Do give Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister a go (the original not
the horrible remake) they really are worth it. Up there for me with
Fawlty Towers, Steptoe and Son, Blackadder and Porridge as the greats
for UK “traditional” sit-coms.

Remember this episode so well as my school accidentally taped it (it was first shown after a boring documentary about our local town) our Video Club, no A in those days, used to watch it constantly.

One of my favourite YO moments! Also Rick volenteering to be eaten first.

The episode is a very 1975 joke about Britain just joining the Common Market. Basil keeps referencing it "I didn't vote for it but now were in…" and pretending his OK with the yes outcome. After the bang on the head he descends into full on anti-European ranting including shaking his fist at an invisible Ted Heath.

The birth of Pavement.

First public performance of Box Elder (down with the Poll Tax –
but we still pay the council tax?)

The UK music press loathed them past George Best, when they announced the 1 single every month, to quote the Melody Maker "Now I know how women feel".
One of the main criticisms was the lack of political material, it was a more innocent time.

Українські Виступи в Івана Піла is the best thing they put out and also the best Peel Session(s) ever recorded. The single strangest "this is our new direction" a rock group has ever taken and no.22 in the album charts!

Cheers mate missed that one - probably due to family watching A Very Dibley Christmas or Mrs Brown's Boys: D'Christmas.

Hoping the supplementary materials will be reviewed too.

DJ Neil Fox?

I know what Ike1 means. Gattis is
obsessed by one of the, IMO, weakest periods of classic Who – the
Jo Grant Pertwee years. Series 8-10, good ratings but a low hit rate.
