Many Thanks for this, and well done for finding the images, which can't have been easy, but I'd still very much like to know what an Uncle Frightener really looks like !
I knew he was surreal but this is out there! Mind you, he did turn into a bedsit on TV once, if my memory serves me well. I didn't know my memory played tennis!
I concur & agree at the same time "One throat mallet ".....Another Lot ..."One early X-ray photograph of Florence Nightingale's teeth,facing east"........"with extra string in abundance".....Milligan's sublime sense of the ridiculous is humour that "never" dates,however, it 's an "acquired taste" Uniquely unique, his genius stands alone, & it's on public display in the Woy Woy council chambers! No it's not!!!!
I like your comment very much There is a feeling of melancholy, revernce even(?) for aged persons that a youngish Spike, to his credit, displayed, & this warmth of his character, endeared his audience to him all the more Remember his "Poem For The Lonely"? It read only one word, "Hello", yet it carried a lot of sensitivity & meaning And thankfully, his wonderful "sense of the ridiculous" was bubbling away just below the surface, ready to make me laugh & laugh & laugh!!!

@jet936 Haha! Google images very disappointing when I typed that in 3 years ago. Maybe it would be better now.

@frankyg008 As far as I know the music was written specifically for this piece. It was composed by George Martin, the Beatles' producer.

You have to have some sense of the poetry of life to find this funny...that's sadly, why today it will leave most people cold.
