The linctus song - Derek and Clive 

Pure genius. Comedy Gold. Can't believe they are both gone.

I wish I'd had the patience and motivation to stick to playing the piano. Dud's really good.

absolutely THE best

Dudley More had hos own band,they reached The Hit Parade with Susanne's Song back in 70s

he was an organ scholar at oxbridge lol

I prefer this to Santa Claus the movie, or his appearance on Noel Edmond's house party. Two things which stood the test of time. obviously.

he predicted covid !

Shame they never added this to the Ad Nauseum album....think Virgin/EMI should give the D&C catalogue a bit a good 'ol "polish" with additional material from the sessions....!

shove the linctus in your gob with Sprite, Jolly Ranchers and ice to heal the cough and feel wavy for an afternoon/evening. make sure it's care plus BLUE label or pinewood ORANGE label (Yellow and Purple are not good colours for cough mixture this side of the pond!) or if Bells that it's not "balsam" or £1 in Poundland, and you'll be on your way. Add Phenergan for extra boost and authenticity

Has anyone been able to pinpoint where the (musical) inspiration for this came from?

@Thanatopsis same here.
