Pretty good, though as others have said, the overlong beginning spoils it a little. And the music is horrible! Still, everyone's a critic. Especially with the anonymity of the internet.
A very good rendition, imho. I think the accent stays a bit too posh throughout, though. I liked how in the original skit, Idle's accent gradually develops from being posh, and then into a more and more Strine accent :-)
I thought the beginning was dragged out a little, since I am used to the gumby-ish verbal introduction from the Pythons, but the whino conno-sewer more than made up for it - nice job!!

Did this really need a 40-second, bandwidth-sucking introduction that adds precisely nothing to the original?

@AngelusMerkel I agree, Idle's version is the superior one, because of both his pace, shorter yet funnier pauses, and inflections.

Can someone please put up the Python original? I only have it on vinyl, so can't, but Idle's Oz accent is excellent.

Thx for making this, I loved this bit on the "Final Rip-Off" record, it's hard to find. But it needed an Aussie accent!
