I have a fondness for the 1973 reunion album as well, even though Laughing and Full Circle had been recorded elsewhere and better.

Have you ever been inside the Laurieston? The interior is perfectly preserved from the 60s, horseshoe bar and all. pubgallery.co.uk/pubs/lauries...
Laurieston Bar, Glasgow - Pub Gallery
Photos and description of the Laurieston Bar, Glasgow, an exceptional survivor, one of very few pubs anywhere with a 1960s decor.

There’s a bit in the recent Devo documentary where the show a montage of old photos from when Mark and Jerry were at university, was disconcerting seeing Mark with waist length Weird Al Yankovic hippie hair which is totally at odds with his image for the last 50 years

Considering Andy McCluskey’s cameo in Head On with Anarchy in the UK he already had form for the odd unexpected cover (despite the Leo Sayer hair)

I think the Victor Lewis Smith sketch was probably a parody of the Spike Milligan one rather than a parody of Doctor Who directly.

As someone who once had to wade through ankle deep floodwater in Brisbane with torrents of giant tropical roaches pouring out of the drains, I think cutting off your hand is, if anything, an under reaction.

Strangely enough there was a similar prop mentioned in the screenplay for Murphy’s Law but Robert F Lyons got them to delete that part, maybe it was an in joke at Canon - see Bronson’s Loose Again by Paul Talbot.

His playing on Levitation and Zones is great, particularly like Running Through the Back Brain, shame it didn’t work out for them.
