A husband and wife team are hired to protect an eccentric millionaire from an assassin but a series of murders follows.

On the Buses is a British comedy series created by Ronald Wolfe and Ronald Chesney, broadcast in the United Kingdom from 1969 to 1973. The writers' previous successes with The Rag Trade and Meet the Wife were for the BBC, but the corporation rejected On the Buses, not seeing much comedy potential in a bus depot as a setting. The comedy partnership turned to a friend, Frank Muir, Head of Entertainment at London Weekend Television, who loved the idea; the show was accepted and despite a poor critical reception became a hit with viewers.

Cette série mythique est une anthologie de sketches, de parodies d'émissions télévisées et de reportages improbables. Elle dénonce les travers de la société britannique et s'attaque avec un humour non-sens au monde politique, au sexe, à la religion, à l'armée, aux fonctionnaires...

Q... was a surreal television comedy sketch show from Spike Milligan which ran from 1969 to 1982 on BBC2. There were six series in all, the first five numbered from Q5 to Q9, and a final series titled There's a Lot of It About. The first and third series ran for seven episodes, and the others for six episodes, each of which was 30 minutes long. Various reasons have been suggested for the title. One possibility is that it was inspired by the project to construct the Cunard liner QE2, launched in September 1967, which was dubbed Q4. Another theory is that Milligan was inspired by the BBC 6-point technical quality scale of the time, where "Q5" was severe degradation to picture or sound, and "Q6" was complete loss of sound or vision. This was extended by some engineering departments to a 9-point scale, finishing at "Q9". According to Milligan's autobiography, the final series was renamed There's a Lot of It About after the BBC felt the public might find Q10 too confusing.

Il y a des gens qui naissent sous une bonne étoile, et puis d'autres pour qui c'est plutôt l'exact opposé. C'est le cas de l'infortuné Frank Spencer. Peu importe où qu'il aille, il est sûr de causer de sacrés dégâts sur son passage, et c'est toujours sa femme Betty à la patiente infinie qui doit recoller les morceaux.

Spike Milligan sketch series created after the BBC apparently thought another 'Q' would confuse people - continues in the same anarchic & often politically incorrect vein.

Cette série est une anthologie d'histoires dans le registre de l’horreur, sur des thèmes très divers comme la sorcellerie, la maladie mentale, la possession, la télépathie...
