Stars in Their Eyes - 'Super' Group

Yes, it really did happen. Years of therapy wasted. 'George Formby', 'Benny Hill' and 'Rolf Harris', together at last on the SITE Xmas show.

Panto karaoke gameshow. Contestants are made up to resemble their favourite singers, whom they then impersonate. I always found that most of the entertainment value came from some of the so-called look-a-likes actually looking-nothing-a-like whoever they were supposed to be. Moments branded into my brain include an Xmas special featuring a group performance by 'George Formby', 'Benny Hill', and 'Rolf Harris', and an early show where someone performed as Janet Jackson in blackface. The horror, the horror.

I used to love this as a kid. So much so, we used to play SITE at weekends when friends came over

One of the best of Woody Allen's early pure comedies. Allen (basically playing the same character as always) wakes up in 2173 and is recruited by rebels seeking to bring down an oppressive totalitarian regime.

Simply a very funny film; a much more visual comedy than you would expect from Allen - I have seen suggestions that the whole thing is intended as a homage to Benny Hill - but there are the usual one-liners (also a few slightly dodgy stereotype-based jokes). Very much a spoof of late 60s/early 70s SF movies like THX-1138 and 2001; the SF content is surprisingly solid courtesy of uncredited script consultancy from Isaac Asimov (this may well be the first SF movie to deal with the concept of cloning). Worth watching just for the sequence with the banana and the chicken.
