New York: BBC Records and Tapes, 1980. First Edition Pictorial New 12" vinyl LP in unopened original shrinkwrap, BBC-22400, NEW, AS NEW. B4 Not The Nine O'Clock News was a ground-breaking comedy television program broadcast on BBC from 1979 to 1982. It featured a new generation of young comedians -- Rowan Atkinson, Pamela Stephenson, Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones. Rowan Atkinson went on to do Black Adder and Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones went on to do Alas Smith and Jones. Pamela Stephenson went on to do Movies (Superman III) Saturday Night Live repeatedly in the early years, Spitting Image, and married Billy Connolly. The LP includes some of the most memorable bits from the show -- General Synod's Life of Python (a parody of the controversy surrounding the film Monty Python's Life of Brian -- which, interestingly is once again a subject of controversy.), Gay Christian with Rowan Atkinson as a vicar trying to express his support for homosexuals within the Church, not very convincingly and with great embarrassment (funny -- ALSO still a social issue), and The Ayatollah Song a love song -- sort of -- sung by Pamela Stephenson with Jones and Smith and Rowan Atkinson ("There's a Man in Iran That I Can't Resist/ Much revered, Kinda Weird, Got this Chick in a Twist:"). Other cuts include: Death of a Princess (An Apology) David Bloody Attenborough Confrontation Song Airline Safety (Pamela + one word from Billy Connolly) National Wealth Beds Simultaneous Translation Closedown Points of View That Bleeding Bloody Esther (Rowan) Stout Life Gob on You Final Demands Bouncing Song American Express Oh! Bosanquat! I Believe
