Turning Worms

"...The Worm that Turned this would never get past the BBC PC Soviet now..."

Not one of their funniest outings that one. There was a bit too much of the 'someone's sordid sexual fantasy made real' about it. I mean to say; a future world where the men are force-feminised, made to wear dresses and act submissively, by a ruling elite of hot women in mini-skirted pseudo-SS uniforms and big boots... er... OK.... can we move along here?...

I think Barker's career was a mixed bag:

* Some of the early Python-esque stuff was classic

* The Two Ronnies had some great moments but also some awful ones [HINT: 'funny' songs never are]

* I never saw what anyone liked about Porridge. I always thought it was really unfunny.

* The less said about Open All Hours, the better
