Balham, Gateway to the South (1979)

Balham, Gateway to the South is comedy sketch parodying a short travel documentary about the south London suburb of Balham. It was written by Frank Muir and Denis Norden for a 1950s BBC radio series called Third Division and featured actor Robert Beatty narrating highly exaggerated, dramatic claims regarding the putative attractions of 'Bal-ham'. It was later more famously performed by Peter Sellers, in a parody of the famous American newsreel-travelogue host James A. Fitzpatrick, and subsequently released on the 1958 record The Best of Sellers, produced by George Martin.
