What to expect
A facsimile edition of the original 1978 LP of sketches and songs from the cult BBC Radio comedy
Starring Tim Brooke-Taylor, John Cleese, Graeme Garden, David Hatch, Jo Kendall and Bill Oddie, this download edition of the 1978 LP brings you right back to the world of I’m Sorry, I’ll Read That Again.
Who better to introduce this edition than David Hatch? From the 1978 LP case:
“The programme having ceased recording in 1973, this quite clearly must be the right time to bring out an L.P. Even the cast can’t remember the show. I vaguely remember that John Cleese, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Bill Oddie, Graeme Garden and Jo Kendall were in it, and if memory serves, Dave Lee had something to do with the music. Oh, by the way, it’s supposed to be a funny show. I should imagine most of the jokes will have been cut out by the producer (that’s me) before transmission because they were dirty or libellous or something (they’re in a suitcase at home) or those that crept through are now out of date and incomprehensible. If I were you I should treat this record as a social document of our times, containing in its 40 minutes an insight into how Bill Oddie and Graeme Garden, with their very limited brain, viewed the universe. Who needs Lord Clark on Civilisation when you can pinch this from a record shop? PUT IT BACK!” – David Hatch
Warning: contains strong language and humour that reflects the era in which it was first broadcast.
Sketches include: “Full Frontal Radio”, “Prune Manifesto”, “Buffers”, “Critics”, “Motoring Flash”, “Quickie”, “Honours List”, “News in Welsh”, “Minority Programmes”, “Home This Afternoon A Go Go”, “News Flash”, “Listening to the Flowers”, “Talent Contest”, “Eddie Waring Impersonation”, “Sick Man’s Blues” & “Taming of the Shrew”
