This documentary explores the legacy of one of the most notorious British sitcoms of all time. Launching alternative comedy onto our screens, the show made household names of its performers and writers and proved to be a huge influence, despite the BBC reportedly being baffled by what they'd commissioned back in 1982. Never before had a flagship comedy show contained so much violence, depravity and anarchy - it was a shot across the bow to mainstream comedians that things would never be the same again.

Really interesting documentary on the comedy juggernaut that all my school friends and I would quote religiously in the playground. Loads of nuggets of info on how the whole thing came together, filming secrets and outtakes - and the footage of Rik Mayall’s speech to graduating students gave me goosebumps.
