Having indexed two of these – Soupy Twists! (on Fry and Laurie) and Fab Fools (on Beatles, Rutles and comedy) – I can vouch for their entertaining excellence. If you like this sort of thing too, give a follow to

Are there any fans of Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide, Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie, Blackadder, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue (ISIHAC), PG Wodehouse, The Rutles, The Beatles or British Folklore/Mythology on Bluesky?
Because I'm the bloke who wrote THE book about them. Usually officially authorised.

Merry #FabFools Friday, nits! As it’s the last before Crimble, we have no shame in making this week a repeat – dai.ly/x55f6ek
THE BEATLES CHRISTMAS CAROL is both the greatest thing made in the name of The Beatles since 1970, and the best version of the Scrooge story since 1843.

Enjoying the Cbeebies Robin Hood pantomime. But I will be miffed if they don't honour the original gests, and have Robin decapitate Guy of Gisborne and shoot the Sheriff through the heart at the end.
