WHY BOTHER
? (RADIO 3) |
|
|
5 x 10m
Chris Morris (Brass Eye/Day Today)
aggressively cross-questions Sir Arthur Streeb Greebling, about his
life, in these improvised interviews.
The results are bizarre and surreal; tackling, as they
do, subjects like cloning the DNA of Christ, and how he masqueraded
as a bear!
Eventually released on BBC tape/cd. Oh..and yes, that
IS E.L.Wisty on the cover and NOT Sir Arthur !
Nobody knows why.
