Product Description

Synopsis
One of the all-time greats from the Goons to the present.

From the Back Cover
Arguably the greatest comedian to have emerged in post-war Britain, Spike Milligan takes a tongue-in-cheek look back over his own career in television!

Some remember him from the Goons, some through his army autobiographies or his poems, but it is his work on television that has stamped Spike Milligan's surreal, chaotic and devastatingly funny humour on the imagination of a generation.

Spike's nine series of Q (1968-1980) and There's A Lot of it About (1982) contained sketches of nonsensical brilliance. The regular cast (including John Bluthal, Peter Jones, Keith Smith and Bob Todd) played along, often in bemusement or hysterics, creating a unique and unrivalled atmosphere.

This spoof documentary captures the highlights of this series, featuring such moments as The Lost Forever in the Bermuda Triangle Holiday. The Eurovision joke Contest, insects auditioning for a David Attenborough series, Michael Parkinson at the Soldierama Massage Parlour, Spike as the singing Viking Maiden and loads more assorted lunacy from the world of an indisputable comic genius.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ballbustingly funny, 8 Jan 2002

By	Knowles Jessie "jessieknowles" (Sweden) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In this video are many excerpts from the Q seies, which I hadn't seen before. It also has an ongoing interview with Spike throughout. I have watched it many times and it still makes me laugh!...
