After the furore of OTT , Tarrant and co were given the safety of a recorded sketch show. Each programme was recorded in a different midlands pub with the regulars partaking in the precedings. From the OTT lineup, Lenry Henry had joned the BBC, John Gorman stayed backstage, however, Tarrant, Carolgees, Helen Atkinson Wood remained on screen. Joined by new faces Suzanne Sinclair, Tony Slattery and Phil Cool. However my favourite was Kevin Seisay singing songs about Adolf Hitler and cannibals. Unfortunately this was pasted by Jasper Carrott's series in the ratings and it didn't return. Theme by Roy Wood, Graphics by Chris Wroe, of course.
