BBC trailer featuring Reeves and Mortimer, 1996

In 1996 the BBC ran this trailer extolling the fact that the BBC believes great comedy comes from allowing people to take risks. In the style of a "coming up this autumn" type of trailer, it features Reeves and Mortimer in a series of spoof shows such as "Detective in a Wheelbarrow", "Three Blokes in a Bath" and "Poldark on Mopeds". All funded by your licence fee. Remember folks, you make the BBC what it is.

I loved this advert back when it was on, Poldark on Mopeds used to have me in stitches.

Kind of misses that Channel 4 were the ones to first give them a series though. it's easy to forget that although CH4 is just reality shows and terrible comedy now it used to be very innovative. They were running the Comic Strip Presents a few years after the BBC were trying to live down the Black and White Minstrel Show.
