Mel Smith: I've Done Some Things
Dec 24, 2013A tribute to British comedian Mel Smith, who died in July 2013, aged 60, featuring home video footage, rare archive material and many classic sketches. Far more than a comic actor, Smith also wrote and edited a host of celebrated TV comedies in the 1980s and 90s. He was a theatre and film director, and as a TV producer he was responsible for several innovative comedy series. Friends and colleagues, including Griff Rhys Jones, John Lloyd and Richard Curtis, talk about Smith's talents, both in front of- and behind the camera. The programme also traces his time at Oxford and, before that, Latymer Upper School, where Smith's talents were first spotted.

How The Young Ones Changed Comedy
May 26, 2018This documentary explores the legacy of one of the most notorious British sitcoms of all time. Launching alternative comedy onto our screens, the show made household names of its performers and writers and proved to be a huge influence, despite the BBC reportedly being baffled by what they'd commissioned back in 1982. Never before had a flagship comedy show contained so much violence, depravity and anarchy - it was a shot across the bow to mainstream comedians that things would never be the same again.

Dec 06, 1981Le Docteur Snuggles vit dans la forêt au milieu de ses amis animaux qui parlent, comme Mathilde Cache-Bidon, Denis le Blaireau, Mademoiselle Nette… Le monde dans lequel vit le Docteur est à son image : il est excentrique et fantastique, un monde où l’imagination n’a pas de limite et devient réalité. Ce cher Docteur est un inventeur de génie dont l’esprit regorge d’idée ! Ainsi, il peut fabriquer des robots, des drôles d’appareils, mais aussi des fusées à partir de bois. Mais de par sa grande intelligence et de son originalité, le Docteur Snuggles attire également la jalousie d’autrui… La série ne compte que 13 épisodes, mais chaque épisode avait une durée de 25 minutes environ. Comme c’est assez long, pour faire durer le plaisir, sur TF1 un épisode était diffusé à coups de 5-10 minutes environ à la fois. C’est pourquoi on a peut-être l’impression qu’il y avait plus d’épisodes que ça, mais en fait, ce n’est pas le cas.

Nov 02, 1989Cette série humoristique suit les mésaventures de deux personnages, Edmund Blackadder et son domestique Baldrick, à travers les faits marquants de l'histoire de l'Angleterre, de 1485 à 1917. Les deux héros sont, à chaque saison, les descendants de leurs familles respectives. Il s'agit, en quelque sorte, d'une saga familiale s'étendant par pointillés sur plus de quatre siècles.

Mais c'est alors que son meilleur ami Ford Prefect intervient, l'informant qu'il ne vient pas en fait de Guilford, mais d'une petite planète aux confins de Bételgeuse, et qu'il est temps de partir, car la Terre est sur le point d'être détruite pour faire place à une voie express hyperspatiale. C'est alors le début d'une aventure complètement loufoque pour le dernier-mais-pas-tout-à-fait des terriens, qui fera la rencontre des vogons, du président de la galaxie, d'un robot paranoïaque...
