Something about the showThis year's Extrav, is a mixture ofthe traditional, with new elements.It is not the usual political "shambozzle",in fact it takes place at a time whenthe Prime Minister and the Cabinet areout of the country. The principalcharacters are, however, all famous —or if you like, infamous — people andas you will see, television has madeits influence felt. To say more at this stagemight, perhaps, spoil the show for you.So make yourself comfortable, sit backand enjoy the show.
