  what happened next
  Otway is, was and always will be an Aylesbury legend. After Really Free gave Otway his one hit wonder status in 1977 which he regularly played on ('I'm now going to do a selection of my hit'), he confounded everyone by being back on Top of the Pops in 2002, 25 years after last troubling the charts, with the entertaining 'Bunsen Burner'. Plans for a world Otway tour where he took the audience with him in a plane fell through in 2006. He's still gigging today, occasionally with Wild Willy himself

starred on otway the movie in 2012
 
  odds and trivia
  John Halsey played Barry in "The Rutles".....and Neil Innes produced Otway's Where Did I Go Right album, keeping The Rutles connection alive.
