Here’s some episodes of Jasper Carrott’s topical comedy show from 1986. Update: Because I’m stupid, I missed the fact that this is actually Carrott Confidential. The first show is almost entirely monologue, with only a couple of sketches, plus musical comedy from Loudon Wainwright III, father of Rufus. The Doctor Who fan in me can’t let the designer credit go by without comment:
Raymond Cusick originally designed the Daleks in 1963. I suppose this is only 23 years later but it’s still surprising to see his name on a show. But nice.

Before the second show, there’s the government information film about Aids – Don’t Die of Ignorance.
Episode 2 features appearances by Ed Bishop and Kit Hollerbach, and Phil Cool and Spike Milligan turn up later.
