Lectures go down on TV like cold trea on a frosty morning. How bold, then, of Frank Muir and Denis Norden to dream up a comic lecture, complete with wagging pencil and statistical charts. Last night's attempt was the first of a new ITV series derivatively entitled How to be an Alien.

Dennis Potter, Daily Herald, 13th February 1964
