Funnily enough TTTV used to play this over a programme listing slide on Sunday mornings, which is where I first heard it, THEN saw the programme. Still love it.

I’d say we get the best “seat” in the house on many rostrums…
(Also potentially one of the most stressful…!!)

And it’s only three and a half hours from mine, and that isn’t far enough at all.

I always think that it’s nice that he clearly smiles and enjoys this performance of it, but he’s all moody and leather jacket in the Christmas TOTP…
The original didn’t have a kit part, mind…!

Ah, right. John (Elliott, of course) is a great man in the musical field himself, but has always been happy to share insights into the great VE… but I still cannot wait to read this book!!

Really look forward to reading this. Presumably you’re talked to John a lot?

Understandable.

Very glad to hear this…!

This still makes me laugh uproariously, every time. The rather wobbly soundtrack for the first minute always irritates, but the simplicity of the staging and the scalpel-sharp take on “Robin Hood, Robin Hood…” and the looks on their faces always cracks me up.

And the scariest tracking shot to Jack Lord on that hotel balcony…

Ah, Terry’s “portable porker” as he called it…

Laughing out loud in public places. Not me. Usually. Until I saw this. 🤣

You’re most welcome. As I tell most people, the concept was so strong for that number it practically took as long to arrange as it does to play!

I have the Chevron re-packaging of this album. Marginally better artwork. Marginally.
