I agree it's not one of the strongest. Too much politico speak

Prog! And much more listenable than Henry Cow!

Eric Idle assembled a great cast for RWT. And Neil Innes is brilliant.
 
Cygnus Bazza
I miss Whistle Test.

Since you're good at finding things, can you find that animated film for Pink Floyd's Echoes shown on OGWT back in the day?

He'll end up getting interviewed by Whispering Bob Harris if you don't get your skates on!

A bit like us, really. Except we're not getting paid for it.

We wouldn't have it any other way.

No that was a good ending - 8 out of 10, I think.
 
Cygnus Bazza
Here's Agatha from Curse of the Claw!

I think I need to acquire the taste for this - it's a bit odd, but I guess it's supposed to be!
Vote Og.

RWT is definitely the most Pythonesque of the post-Monty Python shows

Who invited Karl-Heinz in?Smile Do you mean Stravinsky? And no, I'm not talking about the ballet dancer. He was Nijinsky. Or was that a horse?

Did agatha appear in a lord peter wimsey with Isn Carmichael? The voice is familiar.

Some of Noel Coward's plays are actually bloody good

Ditto. At the time I preferred RWT to FT and RY. Now, FT takes it, though
