Remembering Marty Feldman

A great skitch with Marty Feldman aka Igor from "Young Frankenstein."  (Co-)written, I believe, by Feldman, John Cleese and Graham Chapman.  Of Monty Python.  The TV show.  What would it have been like with Feldman added to the Pythons?
I've seen several productions of this with various pairs of actors -- some even longer -- and this is my favorite.  John Junkin is brilliant; you may know him as "Shake" from "A Hard Day's Night."
Any Brits out there who can explain "Ethel the Aardvark Goes Quantity Surveying"?  And is it Charles Dickens or Dikkens?!

And here's another great sketch featuring the "Mr. Annoying" character opposite Cleese.  This is from "At Last the 1948 Show."
