The time is out of joint...
Anyone who had the feeling that the humour of the Carry On films was a bit, well, prehistoric will have had their suspicions confirmed by this image of Neanderthal man which seems to indicate almost a direct line to the late Sid James.
The meat and two veg headline which which reinforced the Carry On connection made it almost too neat to be true. It has all the characteristics of an April 1 offering which accidentally got out too soon. Which, on reflection, has all the logic.
The only other explanation could be that, with the research having gone on at an American institution, all those concerned were not familiar with the Carry On oeuvre and so failed to spot, as their portrait took shape, that a cinema icon had somehow made an uncanny appearance. That can't be likely, though, surely?
