Q. Vol 1
Q is a surreal television comedy sketch show written by Spike Milligan and Neil Shand.
Considered one of the best examples of the British Comedy Award winner's eccentricity and 'stream-of-consciousness' humour, Spike Milligan's sketches in Q make outrageous leaps from one subject matter or location to another, stopping with no apparent conclusion, and not shying away from controversial matters. Filled with invention and taking huge risks, Q provides the perfect showcase for Milligan's surreal wit.
It is clear to see Monty Python in Spike's work, and the Pythons were quick to nab director Ian MacNaughton for their own show. The series features regular appearances from John Bluthal, John D. Collins, Peter Jones and Margaret Nolan, with seasoned satirists Richard Ingrams and John Wells prominent in the rarely seen early episodes.
Contains all surviving episodes from Series 1, and the complete Series 2 and 3.
