I just hope that they don't destroy the recordings of such programmes.

When common sense returns to this sad country, perhaps not even during my lifetime, we can regain our sense of innocent humour.

If young people today want to punish themselves in the hope of cleansing their perceived sins, that's fine by me. I couldn't care less if they prefer to be miserable throughout their lives.

Definitely an absurd spectacle in 1978 technicolour.

Absolutely .....

Ironically, the "blackface" in the B&W shows was actually "redface" - apparently, the latter 'registered' better on the old technology .....

I, too, would have a red face were I to appear in public looking like they did.
