[@tomsalmon6334]

What a treat. Thanks so much for posting these rare Anna Russell outings....mad mad brilliant woman!

[@meikelschwarz5487]

Sie ist so unglaublich wundervoll! Ich kenne sie seit ich vor ungefähr 30 Jahren das erste Mal dass Anna Russell Album gehört habe, den Ring der Nibelungen eine Analyse! Später dann die Videos von ihren Live-Auftritten in diesem unglaublich pinkfarbenen Kostüm... Es war einfach nur fantastisch. Vielen Dank fürs posten dieses seltenen Dokuments

Brilliantly funny! God bless Anna Russell.

Yes, Thank you for posting this. The free tv show Classic Arts Showcase (CAS) shows various videos of Anna from time to time and she's so Wonderful.

I've been a fsan for many years but somehow had never heard this before. Brilliant as always!

[@JadeValour]

Neither have I - brilliant as everything else she has done!

[@suzannestultz3919]

Same here- and I thought I’d heard everything she had ever done. I had the joy of seeing Ms. Russell performing in person, many years ago in San Diego’, and she brought down the house. Her comic timing was flawless. When she did The Ring Cycle analysis, she cheerfully invited the audience to chime in with their favorite bits, saying we probably knew the sketch as well as she did 🤩. (And yes, she wore the pink gown!)

Who or what is “pumstock” and that other term? And ratbag or ragbag.

[@TomTom53421]

Pumpfschtock is the aristocracy, and she used the term ratbags
