I originally taped it back in 1988 or so when it aired on PBS, but I taped over it before I could watch it. Then I borrowed this copy from the library a few years ago and never had time to watch it. Third time's the charm.<BR/><BR/>Watching it live would be great fun.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02355790778865450376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133960841665156459.post-9737197755685839492008-05-14T07:00:00.000-05:002008-05-14T07:00:00.000-05:00Robin, Where did you see the Eric Idle Mikado?
