Hello David,

Just listened to your 19 1/2 minutes of audio Tiswas, bunged onto CD.
Thank you very much! It's the 27th May, 1978 edition, which happened
to be the very last show of the Fifth Series. In fact, this CD seems
to contain the last few minutes of the show (with cartoons, adverts
and pop videos edited out).

As you said, Frank Carson appears throughout, as an agony aunt, as an
impressionist, as a singer - and he seems to be improvising and ad-
libbing all the way since he keeps fluffing his lines! I wouldn't be
surprised if he'd had a few sips of the old Jack Daniels...

Also of interest is the appearance of Trev, one of the earlier Tiswas
presenters. I wonder if this was his last show? There's also a phoned-
in message from Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy. A very brief sketch with
Jeff Wayne, creator of the War of the Worlds album. And there's a
bizarre pub-singalong version of He's Got the Whole World in His
Hands.

A lot of fun. Thanks for this. A real rarity. Wish you had more.

Maybe other members of this list could send you lots of nice things
in return for this short but great CD.

Andrew
