The Best Of BBC Comedy: The 80s Volume 2 - Cassette

4 Cassettes.

Here are another eight comic gems from the decade that produced both entertainment and enlightenment in abundance. 'Yes Minister' kicked off the 80s with its hilarious look at the machinations of Whitehall mandarins and Ben Elton's motormouth show finished things up with flair. Elton also co-wrote the remarkable 'Blackadder', while contemporaries Fry and Laurie proved equally witty.

The 80s also provided women with a welcome seat at comedy's top table - Victoria Wood; a true original, being among the first to prosper. Elsewhere, the emphatic success of 'Not the Nine O'Clock News' opened many doors, leading to the long-running, 'Alas, Smith and Jones'. So sit back, relax and enjoy another eight hilarious episodes from the shows that defined comedy in the 80s.
