My work colleagues and I wrote a Xmas card to Glen Michael, who is now a DJ on Saga FM in Glasgow.

We shall be very sad if he doesn’t send us one back. Perhaps if we don’t get his autograph, then maybe on Friday I should send another card addressed to Cecil Buckland In Devon.

Which is his real name apparently.

Glen Michael presented the show on STV for 26 years. It started as Cartoon Cavalcade in 1966 and changed its name later to Glen Michael’s Cavalcade.

Glen, who kept his age secret, was born Cecil Buckland in Devon. He came to Scotland in the early 50s as part of a touring show and never left. He still lives in Ayr.

Orginal source from Evening Telegraph Letter

Cecil Buckland’s Cavalcade doesn’t have that nostalgic ring to it and the information above destroys my parents’ belief that Glen was from Australia.

Well, I don’t find it to be funny apart from Tom Baker’s voice-overs.

Perhaps my funny bone is riddled with cancer and no longer works, but to watch a guy in a wheelchair who isn’t disabled, a man dressed as a woman going ‘ nih neah’( cant spell the noise exactly.. ) or the fantastically unfunny ‘ Computer says no! ‘ and the nadir of ‘ I’m the only gay in the village ‘ sketches are just not funny.

I cant be the only one who thinks that Little Britain is complete nonsense, unfunny and no classic. Its one of those things where the media hypes it up, and suddenly everyone is talking about it.. apparently

Compare the show’s writing with the best of Ronnie Barker’s sketches for The Two Ronnies, the manic humour of Monty Python or the delicious dark comedy of The League Of Gentlemen.

Does this show merit all the awards?

Computer says no!

I watched Little Britian this evening and my funny bone decided not to work. Should I go and see a Doctor?

But then again Tom Baker is funny.
