Only just found out about this. I realise this thread is not for sincere reminiscences (see the OP and, Lord knows, I've taken the **** a bit), but... My mum wrote to Roy Hudd, who was a buff on the history of comedy, because she is (we are) cousins removed of the Western Brothers, a 1930s satirical musical act - think Flanders and Swann or Kit and The Widow - and he was good enough to send a cassette of some of their recordings at a time when they were verify difficult to get hold of.Roy Hudd, aged 83.
