Some pom comedy, however, is egregious. I'd rather eat cold porridge and oyster sandwiches...

that is coincidental - I was talking to a fella in the next office just last week about that and Ken dodd's diddy men...and the single released by Michael Bentine and the Diddy Men (do you remember that one?).

wonder hat happened to bring this to the forefront of the collective mind?

I loved his preface to "Adolf Hitler, My Part In His Downfall"

"After 'Puckoon' I swore I'd never write another novel.
Here it is."

No one remembers the Clangers

"A series about a family of knitted aliens eking out a threadbare existence on a bleak and cold world."

With the soup dragon and the pea soup wells

Bill and Ben, Muffin the mule - they were before my time though.

Ah I used to listen to 'The Goons' and "I'm sorry I'll read that again' on a Sunday night as I did my weekend's homework. (Perhaps this explains the School Cert result.) I think 'The Goons' had a profound effect in forming my sense of humour.
TV-wise ... Monty Python,The Goodies, Not The 9 O'clock News, Fawlty Towers, Dave Allen, The Two Ronnies ... ahh the list just goes on
