Getting into their stride
An excellent collection of sketches for the third show of the series. A running gag is developing with Aimi MacDonald and the hostesses, whose number increases by one each week; this week Christine Rodgers joins the team.
The sketches reach a very high standard, with some solo turns. Tim Brooke-Taylor impresses as a hyperactive robotic hospital visitor, Graham Chapman is a very unusual shepherd with Tim as the straight man, and Marty Feldman appeals on behalf of the sleep-deprived. Feldman and John Cleese perform the original version of the bookshop sketch, later recycled for the Monty Python Contractual Obligation Album. Highlight is Mice Laugh Softly, Charlotte, a wonderful and incomprehensible spoof of the frenetic conclusions of the Francis Durbridge serials popular at the time.
