By 1971 the Australians were so madly in love with "Not Only... But Also" that the ABC commissioned two NOBA Specials. These were intended to be a "Best Of", with some new Australi-o-centric material included.

Having heard a whisper that the original tapes might still be around, the PCAS wasted no time. We sent Clinty and The Holy Dragger via surface-mail to Sydney. Their ship docked three short weeks later... never ones to disappoint a girl, the boys returned laden with Antipodean goods.

Issue 24 of Publish and Bedazzled features scripts of Pete And Dud On Cricket, The
Funnel-Web Spider and Pseudolene, all written especially for the Australian shows. Plus an interview with the diector of the Australian Shows, Maurice Murphy.

Although The Establishment is showing the scripts of three other sketches, also written for the Australian shows, Pub & Bed have the cream of what is available - so buy a copy of #24 NOW! as the way we're running out of backcopies, we expect this issue to sell out soon.
