Notes: | written by Tom Mallaburn and Martin Pengelly. part of Fitzrovia Radio Hour Alert: Ambition! Exploration! Invasion! | |||||
Synopsis: | This show is presented as a 'live recording' of a triple bill of spoof '40s style radio mysteries. Drawing equally on MR James and 'Round the Horne', they're funny, but still a ripping set of yarns, just the right blend of pastiche and homage (best embodied by the marvellous 'The Man Who Was Ten Minutes Late', where a derring-do RAF pilot unwittingly creates a Nazi clone after he breaks the sound barrier). The show's equally a triumph of visual comedy. The real joy comes from the po-faced silliness with which the company - clad in evening wear and positioned behind old-fashioned microphones - uses absurd objects to generate sound effects. In the final analysis, perhaps the highest praise that can be bestowed upon 'The Fitzrovia Radio Hour' is that it makes use of two different types of cabbage, both funny. | |||||
