''Son of Fred'' was the successor series to ''The Idiot Weekly, Price 2d'' and ''A Show Called Fred''. It was made by Associated-Rediffusion and broadcast only in the London area, Midlands and Northern England. It was the third and final in a series of sketch comedy shows attempting to translate the humour of ''The Goon Show'' to television. Spike Milligan concentrated on writing and only made small walk on appearances, leaving the lead acting to Peter Sellers. The series was produced and directed by Richard Lester. ==Impact on comedy and culture== The minimalist format, with little or no scenery and few props, sketches without any real purpose or punch line, and mixing live action and short animations directly influenced the format of ''Monty Python's Flying Circus''.〔Terry Jones quoted in Roger Wilmut ''From Fringe to Flying Circus'', London: Eyre Methuen, 1980.〕 The unconventional format was revived in Spike Milligan's ''Q'' series more than a decade later. A half hour special ''Best of Fred'' was broadcast on 18 September 1963 combining surviving sketches from ''A Show Called Fred'' and ''Son of Fred''. The 1997 convention of the Goon Show Preservation Society was billed as ''Son of a Weekend Called Fred''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Son of Fred」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
