Yes, but television comedy is just that.  Televisual.  It's not funny when
they prat around on the stage at Donington.  Just as Spinal Tap was a
movie, when they started making records and touring it went from comedy to
farce.

And nothing can convince me that the Comedy Strip were anything but
unfunny, middle class, university graduates who should never been allowed
in front of a camera.  It may have been funny in front of 100 other
undergraduates, but please!
