A SLYT Christmas gift for anglophile rock nerds worldwide: The Trial Of Ralph McTell, a sketch from the British comedy show French and Saunders featuring Dave Gilmour, Mark King, Lemmy Kilmister, Mark Kuh-nop-fler and others. (previous)

(FYI: this was one of the sketches put together by Rowland Rivron and Simon Brint, a.k.a. "Raw Sex," who had their own movie a few years back...)

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, the the minute you include that second link, it ceases to be a SLYT (Single Link You Tube).

That said, for including a second and third link, you get warm Christmas wishes from me.

I remember this very well - quite brilliant! That Ralph McTell has a lot to answer for.

This is why I love youtube, speaking as someone who couldn't decide if he wanted to be Jimi Hendrix or Mark Knopfler while learning guitar in high school.
