With the sad passing of Barry Humphries today, I hope that the tribute programmes will feature his (Dame Edna's) voiceover of a Stratford-on-Avon filmed travelogue. Remarking on the Tudor houses' half-timbered cladding, he excitedly breaks off when a Traveller passes by, with the brilliantly funny; "Oh look. A half-timbered car".
I have long since searched for this clip on Youtube etc, but never found it. It must be from around 40 years ago?
Perhaps the BBC's or ITV's vaults can find it!

Brings back memories of my visit to Stratford and Ann Hathaway's Cottage a couple of weeks back.
