End of Part One - Episode 12 - Rare UK comedy series
Loading...
Uploaded by filmnet on Jan 29, 2011
LWT comedy sketch show from 1980, spoofing television personalities and programmes of the day. It has a similar style of humour to other comedy series such as Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Stars Sue Holderness (before she became famous as "Marlene" in Only Fools and Horses), Fred Harris (from Play School), Denise Coffey (from Do Not Adjust Your Set), Tony Aitken, David Simeon and Dudley Stevens.
It was written by David Renwick and Andrew Marshall, who also wrote the Radio 4 sketch series The Burkiss Way and sketches for Not the Nine O'Clock News.
Directed by Geoffrey Sax (later directed the movie White Noise) and produced by Humphrey Barclay (also produced Do Not Adjust Your Set).
It was originally shown on a Sunday afternoon next to children's programmes, has never been released on video and is now mostly forgotten. (This video will be removed from Youtube if either it is released on DVD, or if I am contacted directly by LWT requesting such an action be taken).
Broadcast date: 9th November 1980 on London Weekend Television. Episode 12 of 14 (the 5th episode of the 2nd series).
SPOILERS: Includes parodies of: Life on Earth (with David Attenborough), BBC2 ident, Late Night Line-Up, Call My Bluff (with Robert Robinson, Frank Muir, Anouska Hempel, Patrick Mower and Arthur Marshall), Discovering English Churches (with Donald Sinden), The Benny Hill Show, Jilly Cooper, Barbara Cartland, Open University
