Interestingly, Barry Crier had a number 1 hit record in Finland with the song "The Purple People Eater" (a cover version, but the original wasn't released in Finland). And Barry Crier appears in one of my very favourite radio programmes: "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue". I fully recommend it to anyone and everyone with a sense of humour. With rounds such as "Name That Barcode", "Sound Charades", "One Song To The Tune Of Another" and the old favourite "Mornington Crescent", as well as the ever-fragrant Samantha eager to score whenever the teams' points are up, this BBC radio comedy programme never grows old.
I'm not having a guess, by the way. I just thought I'd say what I did. I found it interesting.
