Flanders and Swann were the quintessential British comedy duo of the post-war era, their witty wordplay and gentle satire defining a golden age of revue entertainment. Michael Flanders' urbane delivery paired with Donald Swann's nimble piano work created timeless classics like 'The Hippopotamus Song' and 'The Gnu Song' that remain beloved decades on. Produced by George Martin before his Beatles fame, this is sophisticated comic songwriting at its finest.
