With its irreverent and outrageous look at everything from University Challenge, marriage, and lager to bad language and squashed hedgehogs, this release features some of the sharpest, wittiest comedy to have graced the small screen. But be warned: there is strong language and adult humor which reflects the era in which it was first performed.
