A certain brown terror awaits Dick Emery, who is filling Harry Secombe's shoes, but not his trousers.

Groundbreaking, surreal BBC radio comedy written by Spike Milligan.

This a particularly bizarre episode with not only with Dick Emery in place of Harry Secombe but also the musical turns in reverse order. Sapristi!

With:

Peter Sellers
Spike Milligan
