The Spam sketch was first broadcast in 1970 John.

Thanks. I assume that was the original Euro date? That makes it at least credible that the nerdish usages could be derived from it.

I don't recall that I've ever seen that episode, although they do sort of begin to run together.

Certain episodes, and the "movies," are quite popular in the US, although it seems that the real favorites are never included in the "collections" and the best of the movies are recorded on unobtainium. Less popular ones are easily found with a bit of poking around.

Perhaps they saved the best ones out for future rounds of syndication. They'd be a welcome change from the "new stuff" on US TV now.
