Some snippets from ISIHAC - it's good to hear Wille Rushton & Humph too. I'm missing but I'm still the right way up.  For those who don't know T B-T on Clue try "Oh I do like to be beside the seaside" in the style of the Queen.

For those who don't know ISIRTA is currently on BBC Radio 4 Extra - along with the Goon Show and other great Brirish radio comedies.

I remember him doing "Bat Out Of Hell" to the tune of "Postman Pat" one time... :lol:
 
It's in series 28 - good luck in finding it on the 'net.

That's a great find. Thanks. Tim also co-wrote and performed in the iconic Four Yorkshiremen sketch for "At Last the 1948 Show". Of course this was later taken by Python on their tours.

The original with l-r Tim, John Cleese, Graham Chapman , and Marty Feldman. Btw - is the waiter Barry Cryer?

Yes, pretty sure that is Barry Cryer playing the waiter.

It's probably been done before but I recently wrote a caver's version of the sketch, called The Four Pot'olers, for my club's newsletter. The newsletter hasn't materialised though, not sure if it's because of the crisis or more likely, because of a lack of contributions.  :down:

I prefer this version. I think Eric Idle takes it over a bit too much in the Python version.
 
Of course, The Goodies did go caving: https://www.clivebanks.co.uk/Goodies/Stoneage.htm
