Do Not Adjust Your Set
14 videos • 2,897 views • by Monover Susstereo Do Not Adjust Your Set is a British television series produced originally by Rediffusion, London, then, by the fledgling Thames Television for British commercial television channel ITV from 26 December 1967 to 14 May 1969. The show took its name from the message (frequently seen on the TV screen in those days) that was displayed when there was a problem with transmission or technical difficulties. It helped launch the careers of Denise Coffey, David Jason, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin; the last three became members of the Monty Python comedy troupe soon afterward. Although originally conceived as a children's programme, it quickly acquired a fandom amongst adults, including future Python members John Cleese and Graham Chapman. The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, a satirical comedy/art/pop group which featured Neil Innes in it's lineup, also performed songs in each programme and frequently appeared as extras in sketches. *Episodes 3, 7 & 8 of Series One are missing.* *The only surviving episode from Series Two is Episode 2, all others are missing.*
