New comedy series
The wacky comedy series. “Whoops Apocalypse,” will end with p bang tonight when Lacrobat (played with obvious relish by John Cleese) conceals the Quark bomb in a coffin which is mistakenly put into a crematorium furnace in the heart of Israel. From then on it is strike' and counter-strike. Next week in this time slot, “Whoops Apocalypse” will be replaced by the
equally bizarre and zany Spike ’Milligan in another of his “Q” series.

Benny Hill’s longtime sidekick, Bob Todd, and Peter Cook.
