Thanks for posting that BOAC, I remember virtually every scene in that and it must be nearly forty years since I last saw it!
The best Sparrows vid has to be the Arthur Gibson one. My son was one at the time and I'd just bought my first video recorder. It used to keep him spellbound while we got on with making the dinner or whatever. No he didn't finish up being a pilot; he lives in Brisbane and sells space on container ships...I would like to think there's a connection but I haven't found one yet...

It sounds thuggish, quite frankly. I fail to see how such vocal gymnastics can be thought of as adding anything to the show. In fact, I think it detracts from the skill on display and makes the Team sound more like a bunch of chavs than a group of officers and gentlemen.

I saw the Reds on the Sunday at RIAT and I cannot remember their vocals being obtrusive, but I can remember thinking how daft it was to suggest they would looking at the crowd to see if they were waving at them!
I hadn't seen them for a few years and having become quite blase about their older shows I found this years excellent. The new routines are original and eye catching. Well done lads
