I'm a teapot

Tim Brooke Taylor (1940-2020)
Like anyone who had a misspent childhood spending too much television when they should have been outside developing motor skills, I was saddened to hear of the passing of Tim Brooke-Taylor, best known for his role in the long running British comedy series, The Goodies (1970-1982). Graeme Garden, his Goodies co-star, wrote an obituary for the Daily Mail.

No disrespect to the deceased, but I notice a typo in which the noun revue, defined asa light theatrical entertainment consisting of a series of short sketches, songs, and dances, typically dealing satirically with topical issues, is confused with the verb, review.
