Diamond Geezer (Part 3 of 3)

Odd - why is the obituary from 1995 dated 1993? MCMXCIII = 1993 - 2 years before he died?

[citizen2]

That's seemingly retained from the original transmission date - presumably 1993. What's odder still is that Peel mentions in his commentary that 'this is how Viv saw his life in 1991'.

Appologies for the rrrepetition of sentiment but it has to be said, thanks very much for this.

[juggleben]

HEAVEN!!! I can die happy having found this.....one of the greatest pieces of TV ever. Thank you Viv.....Rock on

"In September, 1937

I bought my wife a new electric iron for eight and sixpence

She's still using it everyday and it's never needed repair"

Fantastic. I saw this when it was transmitted on BBC2 TV. So very glad to be reminded of it in all three parts. THANX!

Possibly Viv at his very best.

[wilbervision]

This is great stuff. Thanks for reminding us of a true original!

[peterj403]

Haven't seen this for a while. Fantastic to see it here !! 5 gold stars to those responsible. THANK YOU SO MUCH for keeping the memory of Vivian Stanshall alive.

Not forgetting Johnny Plee for the great intro and the original BBC team for actually recording it in the first place! I LOVE it very much - it's heaven to see and here it again.
