The premise

Here’s the bit.

A television interviewer invites Mr Nude to demonstrate his claimed psychic powers. The guest responds to basic questions with elaborate evasions, then bends a spoon using his hands and treats the result as proof of his abilities. As the interviewer presses the obvious objection, Mr Nude becomes increasingly hostile while finding time to promote his book. The interview closes with the two men competing to address the viewers.

Notes from the archive.

The published sketch script supplies both closing speeches, which the performers deliver at the same time.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
