When Lord Erroll was found shot through the head at the age of 39, in 1941, police arrested one of the cuckolded husbands, Sir John Henry ("Jock") Delves Broughton, 57. The motive seemed compelling. Broughton's bride of three months, Diana, 27, had fallen in love with Lord Erroll and wanted a divorce. Always the gentleman, Jock acquiesced; he even went so far as to bless the union of his erstwhile best friend and his bride.

Stephen Schiff wrote in the Real Paper "Best of all was The Bed." Robert Taylor wrote "By far the highlight of the program...
...Club," is a cartoon based on the idea of a very British eating club for phalluses; the viewer is led in through the door, and there are the penises, reading the Sunday papers, smoking pipes, doing vigorous push-ups in the adjacent gym. Another, "The Bed," by James Broughton, explores some of the possibilities of interaction with that piece of furniture, some unusual (doing a ritual dance around it), but others stereotypical and crude...
