"The British sense of humour is famous around the world - although to be fair it baffles many foreigners as to just why! Perhaps more than any other source, comedy songs have reflected this sense of humour most accurately and the songs we have collected together in this collection underline the fact. To some older listeners, it will be a magical journey down memory lane, to the younger folk, an insight into what made British comedy the finest and funniest in the world. - Paddy Roberts"
