I'm pleased this has been of interest to people - and especially pleased for Colin Webb that his little scoop made all the papers, a mere 48 years after the interview! Here's the full, (thus far) existing segment, for those who are interested. Some nice Laurel & Hardy business in it! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09tgh00

Ah, the "Are we still friends?" is interesting. I take it to mean "We can disagree about this and it's OK".

"A trail for our new documentary about the University of East Anglia's student TV station." www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p09sx19gWould someone give it a listen, please? (don't do emails).

I think Morecamb and Wise were candud as the interview would be broadcast to half a dozen students eating their SASSCO baguette in the student common room.

I'm not sure whether Union House (or University House, as it was then) had opened or not by November 1973, although it probably had done. The South African rolls weren't a thing yet then, though. There's no doubt that Nexus's viewership was distinctly variable down the years, but there's also no doubt that in their 70s and 80s heyday they could certainly pack the place out: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09s172y/p09s14sg

Both www.uea.ac.uk/about/university-information/history-of-uea and Michael Sanderson's official history just state 1973. Fair chance it was open by Nov, especially as I've recently seen a 1971 photo of the external at an advanced stage. Have the doc on my playlist for when I'm back at work Paul - I don't think we overlapped (96 start for me) and I was Livewire in any case! James

Thanks James. I did have a look through that guide when working out when Python (well, Cleese, Palin and Jones) performed at the UEA.
They definitely did the summer ball in 1971, but that list also suggested a 1972 date. I wasn't sure about that as I couldn't find corroborating evidence anywhere - Palin's diary doesn't mention it, but it *does* have the trio doing their cabaret at another university that same week, and he *is* in Southwold the day after the supposed UEA date, so that would make sense geographically. Plus the local paper, the EDP, printed a photo of the 1972 gig in their coverage of this story on Saturday.
The full Python team did perform at the same venue as Morecambe and Wise, the Theatre Royal, a bit earlier in 1973, too. In fact the Pythons were there in the same week as David Bowie! 1973 was seemingly quite the year for the Norwich Theatre Royal!

I keep thinking UEA is an Arab emirate...
