The Hour. Lee & Herring made the jump to writng and performing
with "Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World", and
went on investigate a bevy of paranormal and mysterious subjects over
the course of two series.
The title character of Lionel Nimrod is a reportedly a sixties sci-fi
star who apparently played “Mackay the Morloi” in the
cult series “Star Ark” and was brought to life by former
Dr Who, Tom Baker.
The rest of the cast was rounded off with Armando Iannucci & Rebecca
Front alongside Lee & Herring themselves.
"Lionel Nimrod" never received a commercial release,
and was repeated for the first time (bar a half-repeat run as pre-cursor
to "Lee & Herring's
Fist Of Fun" in 1993) in 2003 on the BBC's new digital
channel - BBC7. The MP3s on this site are taken from original off-air
recordings from original broadcast.
