    Super jacket, that

    The cream, the bone, the white, the off-white, the ivory, or the beige? It’s Richie Benaud from the 1974-75 series

    Ah, the legendary Channel 9 spoof. Have got it on tape. Anyone know if it available online as an mp3 anywhere? I don’t know the details of who it was made by etc.

    *goes off to search*

    Hey, thanks Will!

    I found the Amazon CDs by searching, but no mp3s anywhere unfortunately :(

    Might have to fork out for the old CDs … or the new ones!

    Do it! Forget about the new one, it’s useless. Try It’s Just Not Cricket (vols 1 & 2) and The Final Dig - both brilliant.
