Talk:I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again

Considering that ITMA now has a page of its own containing all the same information, isn't it about time somebody removed that footnoote? --Paul A, 22 Jan 2003 7:40 (UTC)
Oh, someone has. Well done. --Paul A, 22 Jan 2003 8:10 (UTC)
Can someone check the veracity of "(except in "The Angus Prune Story" aired on 18 April 1966)" as it was added by 203.97.2.243 who has been vandalising other pages. Tiles 05:40, 30 Jul 2003 (UTC)
The statement about Angus Prune is true. The character appeared only in the one sketch (about a footballer). The early shows did not any words to what later became the Angus Prune tune so I think they were added some time afterward. Anthony Guter
Sir Angus of the Prune (played by Tim Brooke-Taylor) appears in the episode first aired on May 1966. Though, when ummasked during the Robin Hood spoof sketch, he claims to be Sir Angus of the Prune desguised as Robin Hood disguised as Sir Angus of the Prune.
Angus Prune agains appears as a character in an episode repeated on BBC7 on 24-sep-2004 (they completely failed to give any details of then original broadcase date). It's a two-hander with John Cleese as Angus Prune (refered to as Mr Prune for most of the sketch, but definitely Angus as the couple get more intimate) and Jo Kendall (as Ms Bedsock). They start as a very formal (and classic cleese-style pompous and arrogant) company chairman (Cleese) and his personal assistant, but it is revealed that they have been married to each other for 14 years and have children.
- Just for the record, "The Angus Prune Story" (the footballer one) is in series 2, episode 6; the "Robin Hood" sketch is in series 2, episode 11; and the "Mr Prune and Miss Bedsock" sketch is in series 3, episode 2. --Paul A 14:00, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Re: the very final pargraph, Bill Oddie is from Birmingham, not Yorkshire, as is cited in one episode of the show (Tim's from Buxton! Well Bill Oddie's from Birmingham!) and further evidenced by "Bill Oddie's Little Black Bird Book," published in the late 70s. I'll try to tweak the page. AlecM (I really must register on this thing)
Wrong. He was born in Rochdale but grew up in Birmingham.
