Pleasure at Her Majesty's (1976 TV Movie)
8/10
Precious record of comedy legends
19 April 2020
Gets more and more enjoyable the further into the future we hurtle (RIP TBT most recently) although I take the points about the annoyance of breaking up the sketches and not everything being included. I like seeing behind the scenes with these talented and funny people. Nowadays we'd have the whole show filmed, from all the angles, and all the backstage bits as endless dvd extras, but this was the 70s (and a new type of event) so we have to understand the gaps.

Apparently, The Goodies also performed 'Funky Gibbon' in Stone Age-style fake fur outfits during a lull in this event. I have indeed seen a photo of them adopting 'gibbon' poses in said outfits - it looks staged for publicity rather than taken during the show. I'd love to find the source.
