The comedy genius of this is how it highlights the sheer pretentiousness of fashion or "trends" in general. I cannot praise this kind of comedy enough it is just world class and perfectly funny.
I remember seeing it, here's a link to it, at least to a programme about it which shows some of the original Wogan (this time hosted by Sue Lawley) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nKZaYLTP0Zg.html
Watching that Wogan now she was so ahead of the times, there was no way a Wogan audience was ever going to be ready for it. And I’m sure the producers knew what was going to happen. Pretty vile of them really. I used to watch Wogan every night but looking back on RU-vid, he was something of a dick.
@@OlafProt Just to summarise, in your opinion: Wogan’s audience was far too unsophisticated, the producers probably set Westwood up and poor Terry himself (who wasn’t even there at the time) was a ‘dick’ anyway…? …Or alternatively just maybe Westwood was overrated, disingenuously venerated by pretentious fashionistas and her clothes were crap? Ah, choices choices. 🙂
It is funny when you think about it though. We have such ingrained, pre conditioned notions of what is "normal" and what isn't. In reality, if you strip away what we consider to be social... Hold on, damn. My arm's just burst.
Thank you! I think Partridge in this series is based on Sue Lawley much more than Richard Maidley. You should've heard her on Desert Island Discs - absolute straight up Partridge
