Notes

Stills
"The permanent set, in rainbow colours, looks like a nursery climbing frame. The actors, decked out in gay mod apparel, walk amid a riot of beach-balls, confetti, soap bubbles and balloons, while sporting all manner of unexpected props - box cameras, doped cigarettes, cricket bats. When the men disguise themselves as Russians, they become astronauts, to the fanfare used as the Apollo theme." John Barber, Daily Telegraph (8.6.72).
