Not the Nine O'Clock News
On BBC Two
A high-energy sketch comedy show built on irreverent satire of news and culture, designed to entertain through rapid-fire absurdist humour rather than to unsettle or provoke genuine dread.
Classic sketch comedy show satirising the news and culture of the late 70s and early 80s which introduced Rowan Atkinson, Mel Smith, Griff Rhys Jones and Pamela Stephenson.
