Matthew:Anyway, you were abiding in the fields, watching your flocks by night… Arthur Shepherd:Yeah… Matthew:And then what happened? Arthur Shepherd:Well, er, much to our surprise, the Angel of the Lord flew down. Matthew:Oh, now that must have been a fantastic experience. Arthur Shepherd:Well, it made a break, you know, bit of a break just from abiding, him flashing down like that.

Peter Cook and Barry Humphries visit Dudley Moore backstage at the Sydney Town Hall in Sydney, Australia after his Australian concert debut in 1971. All looking very swish. That’s daring amount of buttons to unbutton there, Dudders. And is that a monocle on a chain, Barry? So 1970’s!
Very cool context! (And are those ruffles I spy on Barry Humphries’ shirt? These guys are ticking all those seventies style boxes, lol!)
