Heaven's covered in green baize!

Need to re-watch this badly.
Randomly caught it when it originally aired on Channel 4 back in the 80's (the good old days when C4 was young and showed some brilliant weird stuff) remember loving it at the time. Never seen it since but it has stayed with me. Wondering how it'll stack up after ~30 years.
