Hello and welcome to Seriously. I'm Femi Martin. As a writer and performer I know that creativity is a complex thing and the process of being

creative is rarely straightforward. There are no set rules. Inspiration can arrive in the strangest places and lead you to somewhere

completely unexpected.

At the core of creativity is play. There is something almost wild about it, daring and brave that we embrace in the hopes

we can produce art that is new and different.

2016 marks the 50th anniversary of one of the world's most creative and innovative bands,

the Bonzo Dog Duda Band.

And in this program we join band member Neil Innes as he looks at how art, humor, music, language and

anarchy collided to give birth to them. This is the Bonzo Dog-Doodar Band.

and let me say right from the start

that I have completed a Finnish Sudoku in six minutes,

and two holes in one and an eagle on a par-four,

and being able to make perfect cheese onnets

since the tender age of 16.

Unfortunately, none of these accomplishments qualify me in any way, shape, or form

to host the radio program you are about to hear.

Loosely based on a collage of scraps and archives from the lives and times of the Bonzo dog

do-dob. Am I going too slowly now?

In the bleak mid-1960s a group of absurd young men from different art schools in London came together by chance to mutilate the jazz music of the early 20th century and to nurture a quite deliberate misunderstanding of anarchy.
