7 years old. 1984, this, then 'Robin of Sherwood' on Saturday teatime during the Summer, then some gold bullion bars and sitting with HeMan figures in front of 'Ultra Quiz'.

In the mid-eighties, the right-on, liberal ex-public school boys replaced the right-wing seaside-resort minded ex-public schoolboys and if a comedian didn't have a univerity degree or higher they didn't book them.
For those of you interested? If you go to their website they have a link on their page where you can hear 6 of their radio shows. Theay sound just as fresh today.
Yeah me too. Taped them years ago on radio 2 but wear and tear lost them..If anyone has the complete original mike craig produced radio shows please let me know..Also interested in the 1989 "someone" series as well..Cheers

They are just excellent with every impression they do. It's a shame they are now reduced to a duo.

I loved their radio show, especially the man who thought he was boring because of his collection of two inch counter sunk wood screws.
And the take-off of Pam Ayres
