Directed by Ian Fordyce • Drama • With Tim Brooke-Taylor, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Marty Feldman, Barry Cryer, Aimi Macdonald, Mary Maude, Christine Rodgers, Frances Dean, Penny Brahms, Jo Kendall • 1967 • 26 minutes
The first of the missing episodes which survived at Teddington Studios, this one contains an outstanding Cleese/Feldman two-hander, The Wonderful World of the Ant, and a riotous parody of Television Top of the Form, featuring botched costume changes and corpsing from the whole cast, while John and special guest Jo Kendall reprise characters they created for I’m Sorry, I’ll Read That Again - John and Mary. All this and some hilarious country yokel talk make up a top-notch show, so we can only be grateful that none of it was re-used, as intended, for film leader!
