Do Not Adjust Your Set (3-disc DVD set)
Directed by Daphne Shadwell
lnnovative and influential, and originaIly envisaged as a children's show Do Not Adjust Your Set was a madcap early-evening comedy sketch show that quickly acquired a cuIt foIlowing with Swinging Sixties aduIts, who rushed home from work to see it. Written by and starring MichaeI Palin, Terry Jones, Eric ldle, with great performances and additionaI materiaI from David Jason and Denise Coffey, it also provided an early showcase for the hilarious animations of Terry GiIliam, and the brilIiantly bizarre musicaI antics of the Iegendary Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. For the first time anywhere aII the fuIly existing episodes from the Rediffusion and Thames series of the show are brought together at last in one place for a deIuxe package that incIudes five episodes new to DVD, at Ieast two of which were previously thought Iost, aIongside new interviews with series director creator and producer Humphrey Barclay, writer and performer MichaeI PaIin, uninvited guest star Tim Brooke-Taylor, animations from Terry Gilliam's personal collection, and a new documentary about the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, featuring new interviews with 1960s originators and key personnel NeiI Innes, Rodney SIater, Roger Ruskin-Spear and 'Legs' Larry Smith.
