Between 1979 and 1982, the Not the Nine O'Clock News team produced the sharpest comedy to be found on British television and launched the careers of the stars, production team and writers, and was the most talked-about comedy series of the 1980s, with an enormous following worldwide.
Sketches flow with the sharpest wit. News clippings and archive material are mixed with monologues and music. This selection of their quick-fire blend of satire, pastiche pop and witty sketches includes such memorable TV moments as: Nobble Button; Not the Parrot Sketch; Jenkins' Pee; Nine to Five Wildebeest; Schmidt's Old Shag; National Health Beds; University Challenge; Cappucino; I like Trucking; Join the Russian Army; Campari and Soda; Non-Diet Pepsi; Nice Video Shame About The Song.
