The Barron Knights Songs from their Show 1972 It's only bloody signed!!! Wooo! There are not many groups to have toured with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Active from 1959 to 2022 they cheered up many a Sunday drive with their masterful parodies. They started my love of comedy songs.

I'm off to my Indy record store. I popped in yesterday pre my date. And spied a Baron Knights record for £2 which is signed. I didn't buy it as I wanted to maintain the illusion that I'm cool.

Today my date was telling me how she met her 1st husband. "I was living in a flat and this guy came in to fix my washing machine" Without thinking I said "I've seen that film"

Devised by Spike written by him and many others, Larry Stephens Eric Sykes I'll mention. I still enjoy them today.

Not the 9 o'clock news... Starring Rowan Atkinson, Griff Rhys Jones, Mel Smith and Pamela Stephenson it ran for 27 episodes Oct 79 to Mar 82. Devised by John Lloyd it lampooned the news with anarchic satire and a quick tempo sketch format complimented with parody songs like "I like Trucking" 👍🦔🚫

Mike Harding One Man Show 1976 The Rochdale Cowboy and his proper northern slant etches easily into his comedy. A mix of tall tales and fanciful stories introduce coming of age songs of the folk tradition. Arnold my Frog is a highlight.

Benny Hill The world of features extracts from the BBC radio series "Benny Hill Time" which ran for three series 1964-1966 released in 1971 at the height of his hit TV programme The Benny Hill Show.

James Webb Telescope yet to find benefit of Brexit.

Goodies goody goody yum yum Their 2nd Album 1975 Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie who wrote all the songs. Featuring the Goodies Theme and The Funky Gibbon. Fond memories of childhood TV anarchy.

Today from me collection Jasper Carrot The Unrecorded I had this album on cassette growing up, I absorbed it. I saw Jasper perform this year at Cropredy the very day I bought this album from a car boot. "There was this blue flashing light"

Woke up and everything is blurry. An hour later and I still can't see. I know now that I'm getting old. I've got the wrong glasses on.

Frankie Howerd OBE "Please yourselves" 1976 Howerd's skillfull stumbling delivery catch's you off guard. A master 4th wall demolisher. Written by David Nobbs and David McKellar, Featuring Ray Fell, Dilys Laye and April Walker. "You are still a virtuoso are you not?" "How dare you!"

Beyond the Fringe A lovely find. Debuted at the Edinburgh fringe festival in 1960. And then tours both sides of the pond. Satire starts here.
