Masters of comedy .. made the impossible look easy , making the mundane funny. This was the combination of genius writing and equally genius performance .
At my year 6 leavers assembly we had to sing bring me sunshine and thats how i got to know these great people. That was only a couple of months ago coz i just started yr. 7 10 weeks ago

That's why I don't have a TV any longer...dumbed down rubbish on all the time. Gone are the great playwrights, and the new ones don't get a look in . Everything is about plastic celebraties now. The 21st century is about shallowness.

8' 42" Eric refers to "Rolling Round the World" by Scott Sanders, the song Mr. Harman always sings in Are You Being Served? Little bit of variety trivia for you.
They did a few show over there but they didn’t really take off. Mainly due to Eric having little interest in making it big over there. He was happy doing it in the UK.
