Eric Idle & Neil Innes - Rutland Weekend Tv (1976)
Rutland Weekend Television (RWT) was a television sketch show on BBC2, written by Eric Idle with music by Neil Innes. Two series, the first consisting of six episodes, the second of seven, were broadcast, in 1975 and 1976. A Christmas special also aired on Boxing Day 1975.
It was Idle's first television project after Monty Python's Flying Circus run ended the previous year. The show was the catalyst for The Rutles. Rutland Weekend Television or RWT centred on "Britain's smallest television network", situated in England's smallest (and mainly rural) county, Rutland. (wikikikikpedia)

LETS HAVE SOM FUN
 Featuring many pieces for the first time on CD, "By Jingo" charts the very British musical idiom epitomised by the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band : whimsical, trad jazz with a comedic twist. Compiled by Danny Barbour with informative sleeve notes by ex-Bonzo Neil Innes, the CD features a No.1 single "You're Driving Me Crazy" and a top five single "Pasadena" by The Temperance Seven. The album also features the Temps' contemporaries The Alberts who have been closely involved in the compilation. There are tracks featuring Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers and, of course, the inimitable Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. |
