The genius that was/is The Staggering Stories of Ferdinand De Bargos is back on YouTube. It went missing ages ago (probably copyright issues or something). Get in amongst. Comedy gold. Skip in about 50 seconds if you don't want much intro. Dunno how to do that on this thing...

and NO ONE knew what it was. In the last 20 years I've met maybe 2 other people that saw it. Very pleased with this.

Oops, bad move to be watching it in the office. Just been asked why i'm crying with laughter. Not good form to say that a redubbed cowboy has just angrily refuted claims that he says "things like poo-pants, plops and willy". Oh no, it's too much.

I have a bunch of episode from various torrent sites but it's still gappy. Superbly odd series and it still holds up very well.

Loved Staggering Stories - I've got the Christmas episode on VHS taped off the telly (since digitised - I should stick it on youtube). To this day I quote the Radio Times' (of all places!) blurb for the festive episode in yuletide cards I send, where they claim that, 'As Ferdinand de Bargos himself always says':
'Tis the season to be merry
Sitting 'round the Christmas tree
Meditating on the tragic inevitability
Of man's mortality...
