Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

English eccentricity at its most... err... something. :biggrin:

They were the house band on the (sadly almost completely lost) children's TV show Do Not Adjust Your Set - which predated Monty Python and featured Jones, Palin and Idle as well as a few Gilliam animations. Also starring were a very young David Jason and Denise Coffey. The last clip is from this show.

Sadly Viv Stanshall, the lead singer and creative drive behind them - as well as one of the last of the true English eccentrics became an alcoholic of the most damaged sort (days on end in his house drunk and alone) until a fire at his house killed him. It is generally assumed he was unconscious from booze at the time.

A tragic waste of a genuine original.
