Funny,Inventive And So Far Ahead Of It's Time

Anthony Newley absolutely blows you away in this pioneering television piece that experiments with breaking down the fourth wall as his character addresses you the viewer directly.The first indication of this is him walking off mid scene and leaving the set to air his stream of consciousness to you and his cue the title music delivery at the start of the show.David Bowie loved this show and it's easy to see why.
