British Bon-Bons

[Ted Samsel]

Don sez:
>

> Actually, TRP is of an age to be influenced by Python's predecessor in the WackyBrits category: the Beyond the Fringe group, which included Dudley Moore (who
> actually was funny once), Peter Cook, Alan Bennett (last seen directing THE
> MADNESS OF KING GEORGE), and Renaissance Man Dr. Jonathan Miller (who's directed
> a couple of fine British/PBS series on the human body and on madness).
> Cook and Moore in particular had a sketch about a bad and pretentious restaurant
> called THE FROG AND PEACH  whose specialities were "Frog a la Peche" and
> "Peche a la Frog."

Lest we forget: the BBC radio programmes of AROUND THE HORNE (with Kenneth
Horne..... somewhere between The Goons & Beyond The Fringe.
