"Radio 2 has on at the moment a rather lovely blue frock".

A spot of continuity confusion from Eric Idle.

An eclectic hour of music choices with self-penned sketches, for which Eric provides all of the voices.

Radio 5 was Eric Idle's first solo venture, post-Monty Python, for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 1.

Ever the innovator, Idle's Radio 5 pre-dated the real Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ network of that name by some 18 years!

Producer: Clive Burrows

First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 1 medium wave and VHF in May 1973.
