Not the Nine O’Clock News

1970s British tv comedy series

Sketch show with cast full of stars - Rowan Atkinson, Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones.

Set of sketches were miexed between everyday news parodies. With large set of writers it was hard to keep the hight level of every sketch and despite good set of actors (f.e. Rowan Atkinson, Mel Smith, Griff Rhys Jones) it didn’t reach the level of other such series, partly because the sketches has to be rather short to leave the time for current afffairs and songs (average sketch lasts about 3 minutes). Nevertheless few of the sketches were becomed classics (f.e. Gerald the gorilla or Monty Python Worshipers).
