THE COMIC STRIP COMPLETE COLLECTION: DISC TWO (1984)

SANDY JOHNSONBOB SPIERS

Plot

5 episodes from series 2. "Dirty Movie"; a cinema manager is continually thwarted in his attempts to enjoy a private screening of an erotic film. Trolloppy teacher "Susie" (Dawn French) gets her come-uppance when rock star Gary Dreadful moves into the village and she chooses him as her next conquest. "Gino" has Keith Allen as a fugitive from justice, with everyone from murderous housewives to psychotic milkmen on his trail. Incompetent cowboys Mayall and Richardson are the desperados with "A Fistful of Travellers Cheques" who check into the Hotel Bastardos and get more than they bargained for. "Eddie Monsoon - A Life?" was considered too vulgar for airing back in the 80s, and is about a fame obsessed alcoholic TV personality languishing in rehab whilst a Channel 4 expose looks back over his career, incidentally the inspiration for Ab Fab.
