All the best stuff is here. If you only know Sellers as "Inspector Clouseau" or from his other movie work, or if you think Spike Milligan was the only comic genius in the Goons - get this.
Yes, some of the sketches are very much of their time and parody cultural ticks long forgotten, but, like all the best comedy, it doesn't matter.
High spots?
Auntie Rotter - a spoof on BBC radio's "Listen With Mother"
I'm So Ashamed - a rock 'n' roll song by a fading 9 year old star who needs a hit.
Balham - Gateway to the South - a travelogue commentary about a tacky South London suburb (very close to my childhood home).
Dance With Me Henry - Min & Henry Crun from the Goons sing Georgia Gibbs.
So Little Time - an interview with a pop impressario.
Goodness Gracious Me - an Indian doctor is seduced by Sophia Loren.
Bangers and Mash - Anglo-Italian marital culture shock.
She Loves You (both versions) - a cockney and an irish dentist recite the Beatles as poetry.
But it's all great stuff
