A lifetime in the making, but this gem is worth the wait
I HAVE waited 27 years to write this review. That is how long it has taken for any
one to have the good sense to collect together 270 minutes of the finest televi sion comedy ever produced and release it in one not-to-be-missed package. I am talking about “The Complete
Ripping Yams”, finally released as a dig ita lly restored two-DVD set. If you haven’t yet bought a DVD player, this alone is reason enough to do it. For those who can’t remember them, or
are just too young, “Ripping Yams” was a series of half-hour comedy programmes first broadcast by the BBC back in 1977. They came from the unfathomable minds of Monty Python’s Michael Palin, pic tured, and Terry Jones and were simply wonderful. Each Yarn is a tongue-in-cheek spoof
of the kind of “Boys Own” adventures devoured by Palin and Jones as boys in their eagerly-awaited weekly comics. These are wonderful send-ups of the sto ries th a t ensured British boys grew up with upper lips tha t were unshakably stiff. For example, “Tompkinson’s School
days” recalls the frontier days of British education, when corporal punishment was an A-level, while “Escape from Sta- lag Luft 112B” is a tale of courage and valour behind the lines in the Kaiser's Germany and of a British officer who wouldn't lie down.

of Eric Olthwaite”, 30 minutes of sheer TV bliss. Growing up in Denley Moor, where “it were always raining”, Eric is the world’s most boring man, obsessed with the blackness of his mother’s black pudding, the rainfall gauge at the town hall and Howard Moulson’s new shovel. So boring is Eric that his own father pre tends to be French in a bid to avoid con versation with him. When his parents can stand it no more
and leave home, Eric resolves to become more interesting and embarks, largely by chance, on a life of crime. Incidentally, there is a band who play locally who took their name, “The Eric Olthwaite Gang”, from this very episode. Palin is currently riding high in the rat
□m s The memorably-named “Across the
Andes by Frog” charts the stirring story of one man and six frogs who try to defy the world in the greatest gamble of all, while in “Whinfrey’s Last Case”, dashing, debonnaire Gerald Whinfrey, who saves his country twice a week, sets out to foil a ghastly German plot to start the First World War without telling anybody. Another comedy gem is “Golden Gor
don”, a torrid tale of football fanaticism in the 1930s and of super-fan Gordon Ottershaw, who supports a team which hasn't won a match tor six years. But my personal favourite has to be “The Testing

the DVD set has extras including com mentaries by Palin and Jones, a 1982 doc umentary in which Palin returns to his Sheffield roots, and "Black and Blue: Secrets" - a black comedy written by Palin and Jones and unseen since 1973. It is worth every penny of the £24.99 RRP If ever proof were needed th a t they

Plenty of pace in this witty satire
“VOLPONE (OR THE FOX)”; The Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester; until November 27th
BEN JONSON’S “Volpone” is a conman. His game is to trick money and
gifts from a group of greedy Vene tians, a lawyer, a merchant and a jealous husband, by pretending to be on his deathbed and promising all his wealth to one of them. He is aided in this by his side-
kick, “Mosca”, a master of every sting and fraud. Volpone means “fox” and Mosca means “fly” and their victims are “Vulture”, “Crow” and “Raven”, so Jonson clearly indicates his satiric intent. Everyone is deceiving everyone
else, except the Raven’s hapless son “Bonario” and the Crow’s inno cent wife, “Celia”. Gerard Murphy, as Volpone,
dominates the stage, but he is well- supported by a clever Mosca (Stephen Noonan), who points up the comedy with some great facial expressions, movements and even some impersonations of well- known modern comedies such as Steptoe. Michael Carter is Vulture, the
iSII OTE'iE SAUSAGE PITTAS
with George Alpe of Alpe’s Butchers, Shawbridge Street, Clitheroe.
BONFIRE night is here again and along tvith the sparklers and magnificent rockets, it is the tasty Guy Fawkes fare which children, and adults, look forward to. Baked potatoes, hot-pot, hot-dogs and
sticky treacle toffee, eaten outside always makes it taste different.
Here we have a recipe for tasty sausage pitta
which is ideal for the children on bonfire night, supplied by local butcher George Alpe. Also on sale in the shop are lamb kebabs in two vari eties, rosemary and garlic or garden mint and these will also make a perfect filling for the pitta wrap.
George is renowned for his sausages and has
won many awards for his bangers. Last month his pork and leek sausages won a gold award while his Lincolnshire variety won silver. Last week was a busy time for George and
his eight full-time staff, who made 1201b of sausages to celebrate sausage appreciation week. ^ On the counter were hot sausages for cus
cunning, self-seeking lawyer. Gareth Thomas is the gullible but cruel Raven, and Stephen Marzel- la is a wonderfully enraged Crow. Tom Goodwin, Dominic Bur-
dess and Sarah Desmond are Volpone’s people, who fawn upon him and carry ou t his bidding. They are very funny as travelling Ita lian Elvis lookalikes in the scene where Volpone tries to seduce the virtuous Celia (Miran da Colchester). There is loads of pace and laugh
ter in Greg Hersov’s direction and some spectacular fights arranged by Renny Krupinski. This is lively and entertaining and modern, despite th e 16th century lan guage.

tomers to try, recipe cards to give away, and games for the children. George also encour aged his customers to try different varieties, such as lamb, Lincolnshire and pork and apple by giving away a free half-pound sample of their choice.

butter into a pan and cook over a moderate heat for 10-15 minutes until browned and soft ened. 3. Make coleslaw: take shredded white or
red cabbage and spring onions, finely sliced, grated carrot and mix together with the may onnaise or salad dressing of your choice. 4. Toast and slice open the pittas, stuff with
sausages, onion and coleslaw. Serve with a large dollop of sweetcorn relish

region produced huge amounts of bulk wines des tined mainly for blending with other wines for colour and alcohol. Murcia is a harsh high
plateau where hardly any thing, bu t olives and almond trees, survive besides grapes. These vines are generally ungrafted and were never attacked by the phylloxera plague which destroyed most of the European vine stocks in the late 1800s. Crisis hit the region some
years ago with a big decline in the market and the co operative, the largest in the region, nearly went bust. Recently the area has seen a lot of investment and great progress has been made. Miguel Gilsbrand’s new
bodega is dedicated to high-quality Monastrell (Mourvedre), from 100 hectres of estate vineyards and with access to 30 to 50- year-old vineyards in the hilly Penasubia zone where the winery is situated. Last year turned out to be the
