Presuming a lot of it is EB's writing, it's great stuff.

The punchline of "I'm playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order" has to be one of the best gags ever written. Pure comedy goldBraben wrote all the scripts, he was also responsible for turning the pair away from their tired one line deliveries that they copied from Abbot and Costello and pointed them toward the similar vein of Laurel and Hardy, two idiots even though one of them doesn't realise he's an idiot. He also came up with the surreal notion of them sharing a bed without homosexual overtones.
He always said the Christmas special sketch with Andre Previn was the best sketch he ever wrote saying he would never change one word of it!
His book' The Book That I Wrote, is a must read for any fan of British comedy, I can recommend it, my wife got me a signed copy for Christmas a few years back, a much treasured possession!
