Entertainment and enlightenment - 1980s comedy produced both in abundance. at one end of the decade 'Yes, Minister' was lifting the lid on the Machiavellian machinations of Whitehall mandarins, at the other Ben Elton was motormouthing off at the abusers of power. Elton also co-wrote the remarkable 'Blackadder', while contemporaries Fry and Laurie proved equally witty.

The 80s provided women with a welcome seat at comedy's top table - Victoria Wood, a true original, being amongst the first to prosper. The emphatic success of 'Not The Nine O'Clock News' opened many doors, leading to the long-running 'Alas Smith And Jones'. In terms of longevity, through, few can match 'The News Huddlines', a good old-fashioned radio comedy with topical one-liners and sketches. So sit back, put your feet up and enjoy another decade of great comedy.

This volume features episodes from 'The News Huddlines', 'Not The Nine O'Clock News', 'Yes, Minister', 'Blackadder', 'Alas Smith And Jones', Victoria Wood - As Seen On TV', A Bit Of Fry And Laurie', 'The Man From Auntie'.
