Max? Where did I say or even imply that? I didn't.
"First, you tell me why you want Anthony and I and nobody else to watch it."
That's pretty combative Max, although I am starting to get used that attitude and am learning to ignore it. The video has points that Tim made as well as others in the attention that the blogosphere and global press have given the issue.

Not combative. I just want to know why it is addressed to Anthony and me. I want to know what we have said that would make watching this especially beneficial for the two of us. Oh God, I'm so afraid that Nigel is going to gig me on my oblique shit...Anthony and me, Anthony and I, us'ns.

Wind he up? No, me am not trying to wind the Nigel up. Me try. Me try and try to speak good English. Me wife is much more vigilant about this stuff than even thee. Her was a teacher too. But me an equal opportunity corrupter of languages. I slay the oblique cases in German.

"Here is the news." I'm sorry, I'll read that again: "Here are the news."
("I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again" of blessed memory, 1964.)

Nigel, thanks for the link, but, of course, I already have it bookmarked. In fact, it was while I was listening to ISIRTA yesterday and heard that quip about the news that I was reminded of the discussion (?) here. (How else would I have known that it dated back to 1964?)
But, when all is said and done, if we are talking about nostalgia for radio days gone by then nothing, absolutely nothing, can beat Round the Horne. Hier steh' Ich; Ich kann nicht anders!

JFR, I'm with you all the way. Over forty years ago I attended a recording of 'Round the Horne' during my undergraduate days. Now when I hear that programme I can anticipate nearly every word of the script, but what is particularly unnerving is that I can easily hear my own laughter from all that time ago.
I am still a great fan of Julian and Sandy. I wish they'd led me astray in those days.
Hugs
Nigel

Maybe we should all start posting here in Polari.
