Crazy credits
The credits to each episode list the majority of the crew's roles in a mock format so that they all end with "ing", eg. "film camera-ing", "graphic-ing", "productioning".

Spike in colour - Between the Q's

Spike Milligan started the run of his anarchic Q series in 1969 on BBC2 (in colour) this series was made between Q5 and Q6 which was made in 1975. It is basically Q 5 1/2 as it is very similar is structure with many of the same cast with sketches running into one another, some of which wouldn't look out of place in the Two Ronnie's and Spike attacking his usual targets ( Government, politicians, The Irish, Sport) It's often very funny - For example a married couple having their evening meal being kept in check by a Tennis umpire (Spike) on a raised platform. Most of the six episodes surprisingly exist in black and white Telerecordings with just a few clips on colour VT. Would be great to have a release to compliment the recent dvd set of the Q series.
