A very young David Jason in the first video, what year was that? The other 2 clips makes me want to get myself a couple of yards of hosepipe and a bugle mouthpiece and have a go at "The Urban Spaceman" ;D Intro by the great Stanley Unwin. Here's another gem that should please the older males like me, and all Beatles fans.

Never expected to encounter the Bonzos on a Tull site, but they are without doubt one of Britain's finest. Not as musicians (Neil Innes excepted, the rest just knew what noises they ought to make) but had they emerged two or three years later, they would have ridden alongside Monty Python, rather than have Neil grab their coat-tails on his own after the Bonzos broke up.
Vivian Stanshall ranks alongside Ian Anderson as one of my heroes.

Vivian Stanshall ranks alongside Ian Anderson as one of my heroes. There is a train of thought that the Bonzo's and Jethro Tull are from that quaintly British pool of talent, whether it's poetry, music or writing, where nothing like them could ever have arisen anywhere else in the world. Included with them could be Sir John Betjeman, Ralph Vaughan Williams, The Beatles, T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia) [ok I know he was of Anglo-Irish stock but you know what I mean ;D], Ashley Hutchings et al. There are so many. Oh to have had a double bill during the Thick As A Trick tour with the Bonzo's as the opening act
