In the tradition of Monty Python's Flying Circus and Saturday Night Live, Alfresco brought hiliariously inventive comedy to British TV in the 1980's. It also introduced an entire troupe og bright young talents - Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie, Robbie Coltrane, Ben Elton, Stephen Fry, and others - who went on to stardom. Wild and Wacky, Alfresco serves up a social satire and delightfully of-the-wall sketches that seem as fresh and funny today as when they were originally aired. The laughs fly hard and fast, and no sacred cows escape the skewer when these versatile comic actors lampoon bureaucrats, Jesus freaks, self righteous counterculturists, and even their own show.
