So sorry about Tim! I didn’t hear ISIRTA first time round, being too young, but I’m looking up bits on YouTube.

Thanks for the enlightening info on Lady Constance - I'm aware of ISIRTA, but haven't ever listened to it. Interesting to read this was building on something.

As my Goodies DVDs are the 'best of' range, I won't be covering every episode, though I am now planning to do them in broadcast order - hence the jump back from Gender Education to Cecily. I plan to see how I get on with those I've got before considering committing to a full set. Looking good so far.

Lovely to hear there is anticipation for the rest of the B7 blogs! The next one is in progress, slowed down slightly for reasons that will become obvious. Elsewhere though, I've got another Back in Time for TV piece up over at Transdiffusion, where I've reached 1984.

Before The Goodies, Graeme, Tim and Bill worked together (with John Cleese and others) on the long-running radio show, "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again" ('ISIRTA'). Tim had a semi-regular character that cropped up here and there, Lady Constance De Coverly (Mr Pixley will be along shortly to correct me if I've got that wrong). Tim used the crackly old lady voice for her. Very sadly, Tim passed away this year due to covid 19. You can see all three Goodies cameoing in a stage version of the radio show, "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again Again", earlier this year on Youtube. Tim gets to perform Lady Constance one last time.

I'm so glad you're enjoying two of my very favourite programmes. I'm keen to hear what your think of "Bunfight at the OK Tearooms", with Bill's excellent "Workin' the Line" music and a joke I love revolving around a frying pan.

Meanwhile, I'm dying to know what you think of B7 episode , and episode , and episode . Not to mention episode .
