The Best Of Not The 9 O'Clock News - Volume Two

With Rowan Atkinson's hysterically funny visual comedy and verbal gymnastics, Pamela Stephenson's razor-sharp impressions and Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones' naturalistic humour, the Not The Nine O'Clock News team became the most talked-about comedy quartet in Britain in the early 1980s.

This selection of zany gags, spoof pop songs and red-hot topical satire includes such classic sketches as McEnroe's Breakfast, Rowan Walks into a Lamppost, Not the Parrot Sketch, Hollywood Salutes Solidarity, I Like Trucking, Aleebee, Deaf Telephone and Nice Video Shame About the Song.
