In 1974 Marty Feldman recorded a series for the BBC entitled 'Marty Back Together Again'. More satirical in tone than his celebrated 60s sketch show, it included renditions of several classic Tom Lehrer songs. Here is one of them.

  • This is priceless! Why don't they have stuff like this on television any more?  Things that are witty, intelligent and not-very-offensive.

  • Too bad marty Feldman is not around anymore. He died way too young. Just think that had he lived today, he and Alexei Sayle on the same show would he been riotouly funny!

  • Marty Feldman's Comedy Machine was a summer-replacement show in 1972.So dang funny! I planned my week around that 1/2 hr. Never forget him as milk-toast guy in P.O., buys a stamp,licks it to put on his envelope,stops abruptly & returns it, quietly requesting a different, better-tasting stamp. He licked & rejected stamps,one by one, by the roll for minutes.o well,you had to be there.Sure do wish we could see that short-lived, long-remembered show. Thank you, flashbackc. , for posting this.!!!

  • two things:

    1. why the hell can't BBC release this series onto DVD?!

    2. why the hell can't we make stuff this good these days?!

  • This looks live. It takes one heck of a lot of rehearsal to pull this off. Bravo!!!

  • Well, who knew Mary could strut so well?!

    I hope Tom has seen this.

    Tnx 4 the great post.

  • Feldman probably did Lehrer because Feldman was Head Writer on "Frost Report" when Lehrer was on It.

  • OH MY GOD! The tallest nun is THEE JAMES VILLIERS! What a 3am SCORE! THANKS for uploading!

  • @Christina5Archer That's very generous of you; deciding that Marty Feldman was almost as good as you. Extremely generous. Modesty must be your single fault.

  • What a great guy. Someone I really wish I could have known - ya know, just sit down over a plate of chips with...

    Love this guy...

  • That is the best interpretation of the 'Vatican Rag' since I did it in male drag as a priest years ago in Vancouver, B.C.
