40 years later and I still have a good laugh at it, real British eccentricity at its best.

[@MichaelHill-we7vt]

these guys are talented, entertaining, funny, original and wouldnt be allowed anywhere near a theatre or on TV today................and we're living in a poorer world because of it........I loved 'em!!

[@GLK-London]

Yes what a dull more divided world we live in now. There was so much more laughter in those days. A wonderful act and so talented.

[@th723]

That is a sad statement but TV killed variety, and we are poorer for it in my opinion.

[@sabines.5181]

Vielen Dank! Meine Güte, einfach nur schön!

[@Steve20127]

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful stuff!! I love the bit with Cyrils hat. The first time I saw that, I was on the floor and laughed for days. Inspired!! God bless them.

[@ianwhunter1]

Oh, so lovely. A fantastic mix of music and comedy. Priceless.

[@djm9676]

[@doghot77]

Fantastic

Back in the early 70’s we used to see these guys in Vegas when they were the Nitwits. Cyril was with them and used to do the hat bit.

[@azerarrete242]

This really were the GOOD DAYS......

[@emarsshelpline9848]

Great great great artists and musicians.

[@txpommie]

Simply brilliant

[@olsmokey]

The joys of videotape. I wonder why we don't use it any more.

[@GLK-London]

Wonderful act from a much missed show. Thank you so much for sharing this

[@ricko3k]

Love it.

[@Apseyboy]

Brilliant, proper entertainment,shame in todays politically correct world Cyril (rip)wouldn't get away with his act at least not on TV. I can remember not only the act but the Nitwits too in the 70's/80s.Very funny both turns.

[@pokerphil1st]

Thank you so much for uploading this. I've been looking for it for years. So glad I wasn't imagining it.

[@daveholland4811]

Bob Flagg was the leader and adapted many instruments, including the swiveling trumpet seen later in the video. I just saw them perform once in Kennington, south London (not this line up). A more recent friend was in London at that time (70s/80s) and knew Bob Flagg fairly well.

[@peterpiets3631]

Reminds me of spike jones 😊

[@geoffreypiltz271]

Cyril's hat is straight from WC Fields, and he looks like a black Bernard Breslaw.

[@stevenmansell7612]

This really makes me happy It put me in mind of puddles pit party. He just just best singer in USA Also it puts me in mind of poke. La Fage.

[@geoffcurrie5508]

I cannot tell you have long I have searched for you ( Nuts and Bolts) because I simply could not remember what any of you were called! FOUND AT LAST!!!

[@B50Stevie]

Great variety acts like this are so much missed by those of us of a certain age, who were lucky to have seen these acts, we have lost so much fun and laughter over the years, to be replaced by the woke, pc cancel culture nonsense. We are desperately in need of a good old fashioned no holds barred, variety show on tv at the moment.

[@stevenmansell7612]

The day they film the in Leeds The great show theatre. Were you had to in costumes to get into the theatre great show thank you for your Vision .

[@gerryboudreaultboudreault2608]

So amusing. Reminds me of a band called PDQ Bach.

[@martinflores2060]

[@bycromwellshelmet2369]

At 04:16 - is that a Mukkinese Battlehorn?

[@larrygrant-hy8sk]

Music is supposed to be fun.

[@joeoak8181]

Oh dear......

[@tubhair]

Another Bonzo band?

[@clivedavies3]

Those were the days of proper comedy without all this woke rubbish and full of talent and integrate.

[@edlane9882]

Horrible video fidelity ... miss it. Limey three stooge knock-off.

[@GaylordBuzzard]

The British Spike Jones. Great!

[@twinsonic]

Is that a copy band of the Nitwits?

[@SimonNoina]

Absolutely - 100%!!
