At Last the 1948 Show – Policewomen Sketch
An evening pause: This aired in 1967. That’s John Cleese, Marty Feldman, and Graham Chapman, with Tim Brooke-Taylor supervising.
Hat tip Cotour.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
Cotour–
Good find, don’t think I’ve seen that before.
I’ll drop this in here, extremely well done:
“During the early morning of November 9, 1975, a low-pressure system began to take shape in the southern plains. This storm would move northeast and intensify considerably over the next 36 hours as it moved into the Great Lakes region. During that time, the Edmund Fitzgerald and another vessel, the Arthur M. Anderson, departed ports on western Lake Superior to begin their voyages east to the Sault Ste. Marie locks and eventually the lower Great Lakes…..

“when suppertime came the old cook came on deck,
saying ‘fellows it’s too rough to feed ya’.
At 7pm the main hatchway gave in,
he said, ‘fellows it’s been good to know you.'”
Pretty sure this couldn’t be made today as the woke crowd would refuse to find any of it funny.
