Vivian Stanshall's Week (part 1of 3)
Loading...
Uploaded by markmillmore on Aug 2, 2008
In this film shot in 1975 (after the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and before the Sir Henry movie) Viv articulates his interests and obsessions with his usual surreal humour and some intoxication by the river. "If I had all the money I've spent on drink — I'd spend it on drink." Vivian Stanshall -- a thourghally good egg.

This is great stuff.Typical 1970s,very zany,ridiculous humour,but always with an underlying intelligence.Today we have Ross and Brand zany,ridiculous humour with ignorance replacing intelligence

@davidglow3 spot on analysis.
There is no joy in the language anymore, Stephen Fry still has it, but then he's also a bi-polar manic depressive, come to think of it, he's about the only one around at the moment who could pull off a remake of Sir Henry, but I doubt he'd trough a gobfull of mushrooms before he pressed record.

Viva viva Viv !

Authoritative I should say.

"Do you think that animals should wear trousers"? Lmao. I love how dignified and authorative Vivians voice is. It belies the beautiful absurdity that's being said. What a brilliantly mad genius, sad that he's not around anymore, but it's glorious that he was here.. for a bit.

Thanks so much for uploading this - we won't see someone like Vivian Stanshall again, and he is still sorely missed!

Thanks for your comment - Viv was a mate and I've been thinking about him a lot recently. Found that video in a box with some of his bits and pieces.
Just had a look at your Bonzo Documentary and gave it the five stars but they lack that edge without viv.
