All hail the power of UA-cam to bring these gems. What a great, vintage Innes song. A very sweet treat in 2024.

I didn't know "The Innes Book of Records" was a television show. A show with Neil Innes and without Eric Idle. Imagine that!

R.I.P. Neil. You and Viv brought me countless hours of pleasure.

Wonderful. Great comment from a very perceptive comedian highlighting a real problem that has become exponentially worse since. I'd love to have one of the posters.

Was the person drawing a beard and moustache on the Apathy Party rep's poster a shout-out to the Bonzos' 'Readymades'?

I think he looks a bit like Fox Mulder from the X-Files in this.

I've noticed a resemblance between Innes and David Duchovy too, when they were younger. They aged in very different directions, though!

He predicted Brexit
