Went to see RTH Revisited last night, good laugh. Used to enjoy the real thing, although I must have been one of the youngest listeners!

Precisely what I was thinking. Expectation gives a different quality to the humour and there were several points, during the show, where the audience were laughing well before the punch line was delivered. With changing attitudes many topics are no longer outrageous, stuff like the Jules and Sandy sketches must have been pushing things a bit back in the sixties. Particularly when you consider the law's attitude to homosexuality at the time.
I've got two, or three, of the double tape compilations, although they haven't had a deal of use since CD players colonized car dashboards, must dig them out and give them a listen at home.
Taking in to consideration the rather pleasant meal, in Pierre Victoire's, that the Mrs Stuge and I shared before the show, and the free entertainment provided by nutters on the tram (both ways), it was a thoroughly enjoyable night.

We took our 21 year old daughter, who'd never heard of it, to the Brighton version and she thought it was very funy.

SWMBO brought me a DAB radio for my birthday and I've taken to listening to BBC 7. I'm sure i'm not old enough to have seen and understood it the first time round but Round the Horne is broadcast sometimes between 8 and 9am along with a lot of other classic comedy. Absolutely brilliant and it beats the pants off the incesent politics on radio 4 in the run up to the election.
