Mock The Week - First Ever Episode
The first ever episode of Mock The Week. Note how some of the rounds are quite different to the present format. There's an opening monologue, a longer stand-up round, a Prime Ministers Questions bit, and the now axed dating section.
Featuring: Frankie Boyle & Rory Bremner.
