They were on the beeb on " going live". My fave was Simon Perry- cheese ranger on itv around the same time, he literally pushed the boundaries of what you could do on children's TV! I'll send you some if I can find it- Mark J
They sure do Mish. What I recall is them running a laundrette and one coming in with a quilt and the laundry owner saying 'we don't do duvets'. I dunno, it seemed hilarious at the time and has stuck with me!
"World of the Strange" was another of their party pieces that used to make me chuckle - a spoof Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World with the lads resplendent in roll necks and dangly crucifixes looking like extras from an early 70's Amicus portmanteau :-)

ReplyDeleteha ha, sounds great. Don't recall that. I wonder if the League of Gentlemen crew saw it? I love Amicus films!
