Fast Show Series 1
- The

By
popular demand, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide has delved into their comedy archives
and is releasing on DVD some of the finest contemporary comedy ever
made in the 1980's and 1990's.
Some
of Britain's most talented comedians emerged in the 80's from performing
live stand-up at the Comedy Store and went on to form alliances
which completely changed the face of British comedy on television.
The likes of Alexis Sayle, Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson, Dawn French,
Jennifer Saunders, Paul Whitehouse, etc, began writing television
shows and sketches which have since become institutions of British
humour and wit. Such was the force of their brilliance they have
all continued to become enormously successful and popular writers
and performers of television, film and theatre.
These
DVD's are a celebration of premium comedy and a chance to indulge
in the sheer genius of British humour.
All
the DVD's are released on 5th August priced Β£15.99.
