Mog

LAMENTABLE LOONCOM starring the eternally underwhelming ENN REITEL (see THE OPTIMIST, if you dare) as a crim on the run hiding out in – of course! – a mental home where he pretends to be mad. “Colourful” “comedy” “fruitcakes” are his friends. Accusations of tastelessness minor in comparison to accusations of shiteness.

    I don’t know who’s got such a downer on Mog, but they’re spectacularly wrong here. Mog was no classic, to be sure, but it was a neat British suburban spin on One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, and often genuinely funny. Neat Joe Fagan-esque theme song, as well – plus the delights of Abigail Cruttenden in a school uniform forever fretting about getting her “oats”. What can I say? I was young(ish) and impressionable…

    Regarding Mog, wasn’t the the show with Catherine Schell(she of Space 1999 fame)??? Was she in it much? and what did she actually do in the show???

    Absolute banger of a theme tune, though – So Tell Me Who’s Crazy, by Stu Leathwood. Nice Monty Python-style animated title sequence. Enn Reitel was also good value for money on Spitting Image.
