And a lot of other people I recognise as well... one of his aides is, I think, Sir Arnold from Yes Prime Minister... albeit much less condescending and smug... and the other... the camp guy... I think was in The Detectives as the Duke of somewhere. So it's cool seeing both of those in a different light as well. So yeah, I'm looking forward to watching all of this... it's certainly... different
And when you're finished that, go watch The Young Ones.
Thanks for the suggestion but I've seen The Young Ones and didn't really like it. I know it's the forerunner to Bottom, and I can see elements of it in it, but it just never really appealed to me. IIRC... unless I'm thinking of something else... it has a lot of live music in it? I've just never been one for 'variety' programmes... it really puts me off when programmes do that... I think 'just do one thing, and do it well'... especially when in this case (or whatever case I'm thinking of, if not it) it was done like that just to get more funding from the BBC
