At Last the 1948 Show - 2 eps in. Fascinating watch. Cleese, Chapman plus Marty Feldman and Tim Brooke-Taylor, who I've always enjoyed since The Goonies. There's already been a cameo of Idle too. It's very raw, B&W, but to see them all so young and their comic timing rough and quick is a delight. Cleese does a riff on the secret service interview with Tim and his antics are more outrageous then ever. Chapman does his one-man wrestling schtick and his physicality is impressive - he even pulls off a kip-up. Ep 1 was complete. Ep2 was in fragments. For missing scenes, they had the audio and just showed the script. That didn't quite work but at least it preserves it. APBB has 6 25 min eps. There were like 13 and there's been an extensive recovery attempt.
Do Not Adjust Your Set - e2. I still can't conceive of this as a kid's show. Each ep has a musical interlude from the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, a goofy psychedelic band. There are two co-stars, David Jason and Denise Coffey, both of whom are quite funny in their own right.
Both shows are by Rediffusion and Python is their bastard child.
