First broadcast in the 1950s, Spike Milligan's absurdist sketch shows for ITV - The Idiot Weekly, Price 2d, A Show Called Fred and its sequel Son Of Fred - were considered ahead of their time by many. In 1963 this compilation was made in the hope that the public had now caught up with this anarchic brand of humour.
