Not the Nine O'Clock News – Not All The Albums Again: 40th Anniversary

Four vinyl LP set containing all three original albums - Not the Nine O'Clock News, Hedgehog Sandwich, and the double LP set The Memory Kind A Lingers - lovingly remastered from the original tapes. The first two albums made the UK Top Ten chart on their original release. Not the Nine O'Clock News inherited the BBC2 time slot vacated by Fawlty Towers and quickly became a trailblazing smash hit, running for four series and making stars of Rowan Atkinson, Mel Smith, Pamela Stephenson and Griff Rhys-Jones. Produced and devised by John Lloyd and Sean Hardie, Not the Nine O'Clock News won a Silver Rose at the Montreux festival and a BAFTA for Best light Entertainment programme. It's large writing team included such future luminaries of TV Comedy as Richard Curtis, David Renwick, Andrew Marshall, Guy Jenkin, Laurie Rowley, John Lloyd and Andy Hamilton. These faithfully reproduced facsimile CD of the original vinyl albums are presented in a rigid slipcase. The box set also includes a booklet with brand new notes written by John Lloyd, and Tim Worthington, along with cast photos.
