Neil Innes performs parody songs old and new, all set to specially-shot footage, and including special guest performers. Plotless and surreal, Innes described the programme as "songs and pictures, about people and things".

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Producer Ian Keill suggested the idea of a series of music set to pictures after he'd worked with Neil Innes on [Rutland Weekend Television (1975)]. Innes wanted to call the series "Parodies Lost", but eventually relented to the more populist title used. See more » |
