I think Marty Feldman, Tim Brooke-Taylor and John Junkin was a terrific team. Junkin was a perfect straight man, and Tim got all the parts to play old ladies or insecure young men. And of course Feldman was the idea weirdo.
The piano part is the same as the Bonzo Dog Do Dah Bands piece Narcissus So it's probably a traditional piano piece which was popular among music students at the time
In the time of silent films,besides theatre there was nil,then the "movies".As in the 1930's book "Brave New World" by genious Aldous Huxleypredicted, we are the generation of the "Feelies".You see,hear,smell,touch and taste the film.Leaves little to the imagination.
@7d23 Seems like vulgarity and skankiness (a.k.a. no talent or creativity) has been accepted as comedy and talent. People don't realize if all a comedian can do is speak vulgarity, talk about other celebrities (Kathy Griffin), etc that means they have no talent; anyone can talk trash and gossip.
keep your eye on tim brooke-taylor about 1-01into the performance . the vat he is getting into moves and he narrowly avoids falling over . i admit i am a nerd who notices theese things :-)
Love Marty's excited little feet drumming before hopping in the barrel! Great upload thanks for sharing.

Love all these sketches where Marty and Tim are together. They would be a wonderful comedy-duo.

Marty resembles Buster Keaton. In facial features as well as comedy
