Anyone remember a programme from early 70s called Elephants Eggs in a Rhubarb Tree?, I think was scetches show, or You Must be Joking starringlintlock, Pauline Quirke, Jim Bowen and a few others I think did okay in tv.

If Jim Bowen was in it I wouldn`t have watched it !

Wasn't Dr. Rob Buckman in it at some point ? And Ann Beach ? The show's title stuck in my head as my brother and I used it as a term of (non) endearment for our great-aunt Ruby (as in Rhubarb...)
