deffo Mr Jolly was my fave feature-length, I didnt get The Strike at the time, but quite liked it when I saw it again recently.
also, anyone else got/heard the Bad News album? lots of swearing but never fails to raise proper chuckles

Four men in a car for me.... brought tears of mirth to my eyes. Cant wait for this new one to air

Actually Bad News pre-dated Spinal Tap by about 6 months...

Just seen the trailer for the new one (well, last night). Looking forward to it.
Would it be bad to admit, I've never seen any of the old ones? I'm aware of them, but I was too young to be allowed to watch them when they were first broadcast. I should do something about that really.

I was looking to see if you can get any of the old ones on DVD, but reviews seem to suggest that the DVD versions have been re-editted and ruined in the process - as in whole 1 - 2 minute chunks missing. But given I've probably not seen a episode for about 15 years I don't know if i'd notice any changes.
Anyway 'Didn't you kill my brother' was probably my favorite at the time, followed by 'Supergrass'

Yep, Bad News Tour was broadcast on 24 Jan 1983 according to my Comic Strip boxset.
Spinal Tap was released(UK) 4 May 1984.Posted 7 months ago # -
I thought Bad News hit a new high in altruistic, self-indulgent. bullshit. mollycoddled mother my dog instinct rock and roll. I thought it was the worst kind of pimply shit of the worst kind of city ghetto probably populated by winos, junkies and general all round ****-ups....
