The Mind of Herbert Clunkerdunk

Self Tape

Duration: 9 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two EnglandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Northern Ireland HD

Available for years

Spencer Jones returns as his alter ego Herbert Clunkerdunk - a man constantly interrupted by his own imagination. We see what he is thinking as he tries to live his everyday life - those tiny flights of fancy we all have when our brain wanders appear for Herbert on the screen. They could be music videos appearing from nowhere, household objects talking, or turning a fried breakfast into a face. In a flash they disappear and then he has to deal with the real world: work, family, money, trying to be a good dad, husband and neighbour.

Herbert gets the chance of a lifetime - being in a musical in Birmingham - and has to tape his audition and send it off. Have you ever heard a man doing an impression of a computer loading in the late 1980s to music? Oh you have? Well here is another one, just for you. Show less
