Michael Bentine's Potty Time

This week we remove our legs from the vulgar gaze of public and refuse to have a haircut as we pay tribute to the quite wonderful Michael Bentine’s Potty Time!

First there was the Goon Show, then The Bumblies, then It’s A Square World and then, erm, Rentadick, but after that there was Michael Bentine’s Potty Time which enchanted children and adults alike in the 1970s with Potty adaptations of classic works of literature and famous events from history.

Guesting on the show this week are Andrew Trowbridge and Lisa Parker, hosts of the ever-popular retro television podcast Round The Archives, who joined Tyler (who’s actually seen episodes of The Gnomes of Dulwich on New Zealand TV don’t you know) with tales to tell of Potty Time and the semi-Peruvian polymath.
