The phrase “way ahead of their time” is something I use
on occasion, usually for the likes of Tom Lehrer, Mike Nichols
and Elaine May, and a few others.
The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band jumps to the front of that line.
Most of what they accomplished was done during the 1960’s.
It set the stage for Monty Python, with a BBC Television show
starting in 1969.
They were irreverent, goofy, intelligent, and funny as hell.
Primarily known as musical, they were not above the
occasional sketch or two.
This is a parody of a hard boiled detective series circa 1950’s.
Over the top and wonderfully silly with word play that
will satisfy lovers of British comedy.
A few choice puns as well…
