#N:uicsl:5200016:000:468 uicsl!wombat Sep 22 15:55:00 1983 Anybody out there know about "I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again," a really great radio show? Who were the perpetrators? (Hint: three of them got a tv show together later) What was the name of the theme song? How did it go? (I don't know how all of it went) What was the name of the serial that ran inside it for awhile? What were they searching for in the serial? Who wrote most of the songs? Where are pigeons persecuted? Wombat ihnp4!uiucdcs!uicsl!wombat

I question whether this belongs in a trivia group, because in the Bay Area, it is carried weekly on one of the public radio stations. Ray Schnitzler, HP Labs

My Name is Angus Plume, and this is my tune,
but I'm sorry, I'll read that again.
I sit in my bath,
and I have a good laugh,
cause I know this tune's named after me. (Tell us your name)
My Name is Angus Plume, da-da,da-da
I S I R T A , I'M SORRY, I'LL READ THAT ... Again
And with the Angus Prume tune, it brings us to the end of another
I'm sorry, I'll read that again.
Those participating were David Hatch, Bill Ollie, John (Otto) Cleese, Tim
Brook-Taylor, Graham Garden, Joe Kendal. The show was produced by Humphrey
Barclay, who was produced by Mrs. Barclay.
The on-going serial was "The curse of the Flying Wombat (you cheeky little
devil)" where they were searching for (if memory serves me correctly) "The
green eye of the little yellow dog." It had such memorable puns as
"We are searching for something all men desire"
"King Solomans mine?"
"that's alright, you can have me."
"That morning the first mate brought up my tea at 7:30. Serves him right
for drinking it at 6:00."
All in all it was an EXCELLENT show.
