NOT THE NINE O'CLOCK NEWS - THE BEST OF

Not the Nine O'Clock News is a television comedy sketch
show which was broadcast on BBC2 from 1979 to 1982.
Originally shown as a comedy alternative to the Nine
O'Clock News on BBC1, it featured satirical sketches on
current news stories and popular culture, as well as
parody songs, comedy sketches, re-edited videos, and
spoof television formats.

The show featured Rowan Atkinson, Pamela Stephenson,
Mel Smith, and Griff Rhys Jones, as well as Chris Langham
in the first series. The format was a deliberate departure
from the Monty Python's Flying Circus stream-of-
consciousness meta-comedy, returning to a more conventional
sketch show format. Sketches were mostly self-contained,
lasting from a few seconds to a few minutes and often had a
degree of naturalism in performance. The series launched the
careers of several high-profile actors and writers, and also
led to other comedy series including Blackadder, Mr. Bean,
and Alas Smith and Jones.

NOTE: The DVD contained 8 complete episodes rather than
a collection of individual sketches. I suppose it must
mean they are the best episodes of the series... according
to somebody anyway.
