Here is a cornucopia of clever comedy, offering sketches, monologues, poems and songs in this ‘sequential entertainment for radio’. Among the sketches, Mr Serpent, a sales rep in your garden of Eden, attempts to flog an understanding course to Eve (‘one bite and you’re a PhD’). A doctor has to provide some bad news, but gets more emotional than the individual, and there’s love among the road reports. There’s a special interview with ‘Charlie Chaplin’, some lavatory humour (a sketch set in a manager’s washroom), how exactly to learn baby chat and ‘Evaluation Through the Looking-Glass’. A baptism causes naming problems, while among the music is normally ‘What Am I LIKELY TO Perform About You?’ (‘You’re like Everest with all its icy crags, I don’t think I’ll get over you somehow.’) Co-written by Gerald Wiley (the pseudonym used by Ronnie Barker), David Nobbs and Harold Pinter, this sophisticated cabaret-cum-sketch-show contains plenty of witty wordplay, and is vintage Ronnie Barker. Starring Ronnie Barker, with Terence Brady, Pauline Yates and Gordon Langford.
