Q.: Vol.2 (1980)Q.: Vol 2: Series 4-5 (Q8 and Q9)
BAFTA-winning director Ray Butt (Only Fools and Horses) takes the helm for the final two series of Spike Milligan's anarchic sketch show, recorded in front of - and occasionally featuring - a wide-eyed studio audience. Q's 8 and 9 were made in quick succession in 1979 and 1980 after the BBC initially delayed re-commissioning the series until the 'Monty Python' team departed TV-land. This was despite the impact the original Q5 of 1969 had on the world of alternative comedy. At a time when Kenny Everett and 'Not the Nine O'Clock News' were further testing the limits of TV comedy, the former Goon leads a cast of co-performers including John Bluthal, Bob Todd, Julia Breck, Alan Clare and a self-parodying David Lodge in yet more surreal, outrageous and determinedly under-prepared sketches. Running gags and familiar tropes prevail, with Adolf Hitler, Arab sheiks, idiot Boy Scouts and the Royal Family subject to scattergun ridicule, while musical interludes from Spike, pianist Ed Welch and occasional guest singers age the shows a little more harshly than the main man s virulently anti-PC humour. - Director:

Q.: Vol.1 (1978)Q.: Vol.1: Series 1-3 (Q5, Q6, Q7)
Relive the early days of Spike Milligan's madcap comedy series. Get set for a hilarious stop-motion standing still race, meet Jehovah's burglars, converse with the Queen's chicken, engage with highly dubious, diplomatically immune Arab sheiks, and take the disaster holiday of a lifetime with Bermuda Triangle Tours. Rarely seen surviving episodes of the 1969 series Q5 feature seasoned satirists John Wells and Richard Ingrams, Fanny Carby as the prototype sexy foil, and the guest voice of Harry Secombe trapped inside an elephant. As the show resumes in 1975 and 1978 with Q6 and Q7, Spike and John Bluthal are joined by Peter Jones, Bob Todd, Chris Langham, John 'it's the little things that count' Rappaport and a busty and barely clad Julia Breck. Bawdiness and borderline bad taste prevail, mixed in with musical numbers by Ed Welch, Alan Clare, Spike himself and other star performers. Gloriously frivolous and edgy gags and sketches from an undisputed comedy genius and his faithful cohorts. - Director:
- Ray Butt

- Harry Secombe, Spike Milligan, John Bluthal
