Billed as "a radio custard pie", this show ran for eight years and starred Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Bill Oddie, John Cleese, Jo Kendall and David Hatch (who later went on to produce the show). The show originated from the Cambridge Footlights revues, with the pilot of the series being a recording of the West End show, Cambridge Circus, aired on the 30th December 1963.
