Professor Stanley Unwin discusses the Elvis Presley phenomenon
Posted by dilbert01 on 11 February 2010 - 3:19pm.
I have developed a recent fascination for the dreamlike gobbledigook of Professor Stanley Unwin.
His claims to cool include being narrator on the Small Faces' 'Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake' album and starring and voicing his own puppet in a Gerry Anderson show ('The Secret Service').
If that wasn't enough he was also an entertaining authority on cotemporary popular culture as evidenced by this audio file from the 'World of Stanley Unwin' website where he discusses the Elvis Presley phenomenon. I thought some of you might enjoy it.

I love Stanley Unwin
Thanks for that.
Me too
it made me smile; thank you.
I laughed like a drain ...
When, on Saturday Night at the Mill (c. 1976), he referred to the leader of Kenny Ball & his Jazzmen as "Kenny Test-akker-lee".
He once did an advert for tyres
and used the phrase "thrifty-most in the wetty grippers"
I stole the strapline from that ad
After giving a long and unsatsfactory explanation of something to a clearly baffled audience, I echo the words with which he closed the ad: "All clear now?"
