Thank you Nikki for reminding me of that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561131794025886958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-81512744119749824822010-02-16T23:03:42.333-05:002010-02-16T23:03:42.333-05:00Monty Python was essentially a combination of the ...Monty Python was essentially a combination of the anarchic zaniness of The Goon Show, and the more intellectual approach of Beyond the Fringe. Two halves adding up to a greater whole. I love the Fringe stuff though, so much of it is still spot on.<br /><br />There's a UK DVD compiling most of what's left of Moore and Cook's show Not Only, But Also, and there's some brilliant stuff on there. I love their parody of Thunderbirds and other '60s Supermarionation shows like Stingray and so on, one of my favourite sketches ever.swachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157064455715797367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-39288349003901983132010-02-16T19:51:22.293-05:002010-02-16T19:51:22.293-05:00Nikki, that was so fun!

In return, here is one of my favorite bits of his, when he hosted The Muppet Show back in the 70’s. It’s only 26 seconds long, but it’s delightful. On YouTube, go to Dudley Moore at the Muppet Show. Getting back to the Sonata you shared this evening, I was reminded of Chico Marx saying, “I can’t think of the finish.” And Groucho says, “That’s funny, I can’t think of anything else.” Dudley Moore and Chico Marx and Victor Borge all have a special place in my heart.<br /><br />I always thought Monty Python were the originators of screwball, silly British comedy. But clearly, I was wrong. I’m so glad to know about Beyond the Fringe!

And I was quite surprised to hear Gollum show up halfway through (ha ha).<br /><br />I've never heard any 'Beyond The Fringe' before, but I loved 'Derek and Clive'. I first heard it on a fishing trip, and thought 'Jesus, that's FILTHY!' Then I thought 'Oh no, I can't breathe for laughing'.Batcabbagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609077644806458692noreply@blogger.com
