How comedy captured the Edinburgh Fringe: part 3

In the third part of our Fringe history, two long-forgotten venues put comedy before theatre with the help of Austin Powers and a Wonder Dog.

At Home With The Hardys (Radio 4, Saturdays and Thursdays) is fairly dire. There's a dreadfully jokey narrator and gags about traffic wardens. Worst of all, it is about four unbelievable, suburban young people: if you find the concept of yuppies uninviting, what about sub-yuppies?
