Overview

The first of the missing episodes that survived at Teddington Studios contains an outstanding Cleese/Feldman two-hander, ‘The Wonderful World of the Ant’, and a riotous parody of Television Top of the Form, featuring botched costume changes and corpsing from the whole cast. John Cleese and special guest Jo Kendall reprise John and Mary, characters they created for I’m Sorry, I’ll Read That Again. All this and some country-yokel talk make for a top-notch show – we can only be grateful that none of it was re-used, as intended, for film leader.
