I use to record entire episodes of Monkey, Kenny Everet, The Goodies and many more from that particular ABC time slot on a reel to reel recorder and listen to them back each night.
I can still recite great slathers of dialogue.

Anyone else remember Dave Allen too?

Like the rest of the Aussies, I remember those shows. 6pm ABC. Great viewing slot, followed by Dr Who at 6.30.

'Dave Allen at Large.' On PBS in the States. Wonderful parodies of darn near everything. (Loved the domesticated werewolf sketches!)

I recall Dave Allen had part of his left index finger missing. As for what was in the glass on the table, I can't say.

When Things Were Rotten was a sitcom created by Mel Brooks. Yes, about Robin Hood. A pre-Eight is Enough Dick van Patten played Friar Tuck.

Clutch Cargo is ancient. Dates to about the 1960s or so. It was one of a number of cartoons with that weird mouth effect. Creepy.

And Paul Hogan was also on PBS. Before widespread cable, that was where the good stuff from other countries would show up. (After cable, A&E did pretty good, before someone in charge decided they should pander to the 18-39 male demographic.)
