I only saw this recently from the 1982 Cambridge Footlights revue and it has quickly become my favourite thing in existence. Fully recommend seeing the whole of their revue, it's brilliant. Best 45 minutes you'll ever spend x (also the original will always be my favourite because of the 'very cross indeed' and mirror bits 😂)
Why did they take down the video of this in higher quality? The studio version with the live audience had much better sound, but now I can't find it anywhere.
@@Callumsmith9898 I'm just pissed that I can't access the best bits. I used to share them on email lists to get people interested in BBC shows, but I can't even do that anymore.
In the original video, the servant is called "Travolta". I guess it was for the contrast - John Travolta and Bruce Springsteen were both dashing young men in the 80's.
Wouldn't Dracula have made the same mistake b4 this eclipse. There'd have been quite a few throughout the centuries. He can't be a stranger to eclipses.
"I arose early, made my toilet, sat on it and then came down to breakfast."
I'm dying here! Brilliant!
Never seen this before,
truly excellent writing, almost every single line is laugh out loud funny!
...and other Welsh hymns!!! A few changes but as wonderful as the original

BBC are becoming more diligent in guarding copyright. I'm having the same problem.

I don't know. But was lucky to find the studio version again in this Russian Facebook-like website. Need to sign up first to search for vids.
@@coinadderblack I'm on the hunt currently for it; what site might that be?
Is that the footlights version? It also had that great 'He was either mad or both' line which was my favourite.
"Prudence demanded that I travelled alone so she stayed behind" would have worked better. Brilliant all the same.
He missed out the "cape on for dinner" bit.
Or "I couldn't see myself spending a month in a house without mirrors."

The audience completely missed "...to personally advise his excellency (Count Dracula) on a matter of great *legal delicacy* ..."
i don't get it
@@sidarthur8706 legal delicacy - pertaining to a delicate legal situation.
Or in the context of this case - it's a delicious lawyer.
Ah, you noticed the split infinitive as well.
Miss the "then he looked at my face"
The additions were well done but I do lament the removal of the 'very cross indeed' line.
Still funny. Brilliant
I would like to have heard a little Monty Python: "To look at the sun through."
The UK's Eurovision entries have really declined in quality since those days.
Can anyone explain the Springsteen joke?
In the original video, the servant is called "Travolta". I guess it was for the contrast - John Travolta and Bruce Springsteen were both dashing young men in the 80's.

Maybe he didn't feed during the other eclipses
The story is a Joke.
Yeet
0:59 Couldn't Mr. Particle just look the word up and pretend he didn't?
It’s only there to make clear to the audience that Dracula was a vampire if they didn’t already know
