It’s Goose Week on Time Babble! To celebrate, we’re babbling about Unidentified Flying Oddball (1979), which was directed by Russ Mayberry and stars Dennis Dugan as both our hero, and his android/robot twin, alongside a funeral* of ‘end of career’ british character actors, including Jim Dale as the villain, Ron Moody, Kenneth Moore, John Le Mesurier, Rodney Bewes and Pat Roach, as the magnificent Oaf.
