My only brush with Bill-the-musician has so far been his Cockneyed-up rendition of Chris de Burgh's "Lady in Red", which was utterly wonderful. I will have to check out his Kraftwerk impression, if only because it seems to be the pinnacle of German music as far as English comedians are concerned. (In the same way that Mr. Bean is the pinnacle of British humour as far as Germans are concerned.)
I saw only a few older HIGNFY episodes and was under the impression that Ian Hislop, Paul Merton and Angus Deayton were a good team and the hostile remarks between IH and PM on the one side and AD on the other side were only part of the show. And then I learned about the scandal and how the other two treated AD and was shocked. (Shocked! I tell you!) I couldn't bring myself to watch the last episode he presented.
