Truly the funniest and most wonderful monologue I've even heard. Deadpan is the apex of comedy, and Peter Cook was the apex of deadpan.

@mediumal57 Thanks for the reply, & for not jumpling up & down on your soapbox, (yes, I have one). The reason I believe in a creator, I see no evidence for creation. Every web site that evolutionists have sent me to carry the words/sentences, "we think"/ "this could have happened"/we believe that??".
Atheist T. H.Huxley, 'The tragedy of science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesisby an ugly fact.' Darwin was not a scientist, & most of what he fiddled with has reverted back to type. So, God!

@rafhenlow I didn't say I disbelieved in God. Just the infantile explanationssome people come up with to explain his Universe. Personally I find the evolution story a far more satisfting explanation. If for no other reason, that it is not finished. Religious bound people always presume that their explanations are final and complete, which is a sort of conceit really.

Is "Stella Wittington" a reference to MI5 boss Stellar Rimmington? I have yet to find a word used by Peter Cook that was random and did not have some additional meaning. Nobody else could do this, to the best of my knowledge. Monty Python, brilliant though they COULD be could also be crap due to random silliness; Cook's nonsense is never actually nonsense at all, it merely takes a mad premise and follows all the logical implications until the sktech is finished.

@mediumal57 @rafhenlow Yeah, I'm voting you both down.

@mediumal57 Actually there was a great flood that knocked all the trees down, so he got it partly right. Before you say "how do you know there was a flood?", it is generaly accepted that there was. Whether of Biblical proportions open to debate. I suppose you believe in that flawed logic of evolution.

"I got 75% on that"!!

God blew all the trees down to create coal...Ha! Devastating critique of the infantile and simple flawed logic inderpinning most religion.

"a scene unparalleled in mining history"
Possibly the funniest monologue ever.

This was definitely my favourite skit of Beyond the Fringe. Peter Cook is beyond hilarious, undoubtedly in my top comedians.
