Eric Sykes Shows A Few Of Our Favourite Things

On the night the BBC went off the air, the opposition fielded A Few of Our Favourite Things (Thames), starring Eric Sykes. Written entirely by Sykes himself, it was a very funny show. One sketch grew out of another. It was the Python no-punchline principle, but Sykes has incorporated it into his writing without easing up on his sense of discipline. The result is a sort of coherent Milligan-ese, with overtones of Tommy Coo... but this is to sound academic.

The A Few of Our Favourite Things show had a fine cast, music and production and a quite exceptional script by Sykes himself with a steady, strong note of Lewis Carroll logic about it.
