- Synopsis:
"Hello Cheeky" fearlessly brought Radio Two's long-running 1970's comedy show to television, featuring the legendary talents of 'Goodies' star Tim Brooke-Taylor, fellow 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue' stalwart and comedy writer Barry Cryer, and writer and actor John Junkin; composer Denis King provided musical accompaniment (and frequently became an object of ridicule for the other three). The half-hour shows replicated the original series' trademark mix of preposterous sketches, appalling jokes, raillery and general silliness. Improvisation abounded, with the occasional blunder retained in an irreverent approach summed up by Cryer as 'Laugh-In without the gloss, only desperation and rot'. A typical show might feature advice on looking after an armadillo, teaching your dog to samba or making your very own space rocket from a yard of lint, an operation on a false moustache, or even a gala dinner with the officers and crew of the Nancie Celeste...This first-time release contains all 12 existing episodes from 1976. Unfortunately episode 10 no longer exists in the archive. Parts of Tim, John and Barry appear by permission of the Official Receiver. Other parts are played by people, with the exception of Denis King who appears by arrangement with the Natural History Museum. - Actors:
