Tearing Down The House - a love story with "Not the Nine O'Clock News"

Under the title as a running gag of the evening news on BBC1 Law Center, "Not The Nine O'Clock News", encourages fun at the same time, viewing news on BBC2. Calibration of the intervention their lives October 17, 1979, the first show aired, but it was not our style screens politically incorrect, presumably before that hit. Oath of the legendary Basil Fawlty in the end the last "Fawlty Towers", the cast of "The Nine .. 'appeared young, arrogantand dogmatic, or at least in much the same way to Python was announced a decade ago.

After the changes the cast multiple times, a heavy metal band, the crew was finally like Rowan Atkinson, Mel Smith, Pamela Stevenson (Victoria Wood, who had rejected the company and the balance of a male cast, replaced) and Griff Rhys Jones in September (which itself replaced Chris Langham, who has decided to other occupations.)

After a shaky 'or they will not start "in terms of distributionCalendar seemed to go in the front row a storm. While the adoption of tried and tested formula of "open door to a comedy writer," the theme from Python, the world of written joke / sketch last game was right. This alternative approach to writing comedy has taken a more alternative style of the wealth of new TV comedy great hidden talents to light. Name begun to creep into view, and himself, has been permanent fixtures in the vaults of the BBC of the written word.Unheard hack Clive Anderson and Richard Curtis were (the itch it to flex its muscles before taking the following years of success, "Blackadder's.) Years from the shadow of the team in a cocoon of comic genius, who has lived for three years, rolled four lines' and two directors. Finally, we have the wife of Billy Connolly, Blackadder and itself one of the greatest British comedy double acts by Morecombe and Wise ..... Not bad for a gag other low- budget show ...?

The ArtsAlternatively, the age comedy for the first time an institution of excitement and anti. Hardly a revolutionary vision, if you think in the modern sense, but a show like "Not the Nine O'Clock News," has been turned on its forward-looking, surrealism in the same light as in the sixties Python and The Goons earlier in the year Fifty. young comics were suddenly full quota of parking intervention might think, and perform in any manner or form, where possible. This makes sociala joke was a comment was in some domestic left only the absurdity of the situation comedy "Father, dear father," or "Bless This House", now at once, or the blind man in the street while crossing the road was open ventfulls to ridicule. Young talents could create comedy out of everyday life, away from the relaxing behind the door.

It was not just left to write silly songs about The Prince Of Wales television seriously wrong orInterviewer, no, there were more than kings, queens and religious authority figures open to offers of fun too. roll for the country itself that only a hundred years before the heads would literally pushing for this personnel, suddenly, he is here for everyone to laugh, have experienced the greatest medium of the human race ever.

If the time of fracture was the first impression of David Frost in a bad suit the work of members of the class system and applauded in his brand new development of satire, wasAspects of "Not The Nine", as it should be seen from several miles away. 'Alternative', the new "little black dress" has been, and there were good reasons for breaking taboos, a black comedy and some observational data. improvisation or ad of 'improvisation' as we call it, was at one point to put quite the professional look of fear in the controller of entertainment 's Eyes clear, so that all of a sudden made this visual approach and the' Adoption comedy puns like that? It was the wayto be transmitted. The radio was a death, and particularly after the untimely death of Kenneth Horne, a British radio show long service, and popular, 'Round The "Horne, ceased to exist and find vendors of Hollywood, had to take time. Move the wireless - the TV goes through ....

As shown as "Not The Nine," came to our window boxes that explode without warning, the knotted handkerchief humble man, was still teetering on the brink of "mainstream" - a wordsuch as young, innovative talent to feel fear. Rebel to the bone, the movements of young comedy writers so that she plowed into our minds and for this show, in particular, the word "sect" was that the center was not only used to share the third group of Americans living in a big house in the middle of nowhere. Kids at school did not act to rein splash playground, as their fathers were entries from the Goons imitated two decades earlier. But it was audible, and others,visual, that the same "rapid fire" approach to comedy that has brought us speed to gag. It 'was one thing for sure confidence in those early days of the British alternative, if the public did not like or at least not the joke, would not have time to think before he crashed into the design later thought. Young writers test the water could quickly what works and what does not, without the trauma of dying, literally, on stage.

The system had changed significantly since"Nudge Nudge, wink wink say no more," if a tweed suit went to sit idle in a public class home half swigging a pint of the middle class. With "Not The Nine ..." we are presented with figures of street cleaning in our society everyday. Mods, punks and socially excluded, such as politicians, were at the fair of contemporary humor. The designs most annoying and aggressive in their approach to the comedy of observational data. It was not hard to find a drawing of the Catholic Church knocking or ethnicMinorities - word games, it is impossible to convey in today's screens for fear of starting a riot or a tube train was blown up. However, it now seems that the world was much more relaxed in a place where we have programs like "Not The Nine ..." to think again. We were like a nation out of war in our society every day. Unlike today, when the spine stable, which was once the post-war Britain, has now crumbled into the sea like the West Pier in Brighton. You can notalso with us is no longer laughing.

One thing the team of "Not The Nine ..." design has been successfully parodies of our own remarkable life. In retrospect, it's amazing how the team has attacked the church. Not only Catholics but also the Christian and Anglican. Parallels have been announced by ITV and the current view of the times "in Wales", was added to the comic moments to sketch focused on "laid in Wales" and "Made of whales' Nothing,safe from the clutches of the alternative lesser spotted eagle, the comedian.

Although Rowan Atkinson dressed as a gorilla six feet accompanied by Professor Mel Smith, "was in a television interview on the evolution is not enough to keep your ribs tickled, is still considered one of the turning points in British television comedy. Not just for some catapulted into the mainstream professions, but for the outbreak of the inner spirit of all of us. The formats have been copied to manage and can still be seen inFollowing the great success, "Little Britain" and "The Fast Show" and even "A Bit Of Fry and Laurie", some years ago. Also not for everyone, but if some kind of format is almost thirty years of trust, can not be overturned.

Even if Monty Python had the pioneering days of the old school band of young rebels meant that it was' the nine ... "This gave us the mood of the working class. Surreal as Python was a large number oftalented students, "Not The Nine ..." was to a level that the rest of us tune into. It seemed to be "cold humor, and sometimes, bad taste, but always true to life they represent - our lives and the world we lived

Comedy sketch show has not been a kind of musical history that the last scene and will also add to the credits formatted. Perhaps this is a video clip that I remember most was the song called "I Love Truckin ', whichHedgehog issue showed a flat on the front grill of a truck. these songs recorded on film outside, then on the side of videotapes from a route study included songs about the royal family, the church again, and other political figures, since all double the amount of ridicule just music. Albums were made to run in stores at the same time as the program schedule. Three albums in the top ten also, an unusual result.

For the modest young and very beautifulViewer, "Not The Nine O'Clock News", was easily rude, brazen and near the mark. Our parents tutted strong about it, just like their parents before he was with the Beatles. The world had changed and the day was dead when the whole family, all three generations could sit and enjoy a comedy show - quite harmless and at sea. Now the valley growing in society is growing rapidly and the generations to split in two. Children can laugh in "Not The Nine ..." Not like Python,if your father would have been imitated with you ...

Today, humor is a phrase used again. If you are not giggling in "Little Britain", we are sinking in the deep waters of the strong satirical panel game shows like 'QI' and 'Mock The Week "are suddenly" until the "date and easy to make fun of the news or on newspapers is about as creative as we can get.

Gone are the days of fantasy playwright in the world. Writer can sit down now with only oneConfederation of the newspapers today and think of new "Jolly Good Jokes" from which this right. Hardly a qualification for a BAFTA is ...? Smarter with the spoken word and not with the visual concept of the "new in thing."

It would be nice to be back at the time of the play, when we have not had one for our wit with quirky anecdotes, puns with historical figures. If it is still what it was and what the rise of the British comedy has been lost, as before the greatfall, I leave you with this ...

A number of scenes were filmed and presented in four series of "Not The Nine ..." Rowan Atkinson in which it was being filmed on the road, when, after a short period of time, he sees the camera on the opposite side of the road. He Seitenblicke so smug and smiling. In a moment that so fascinated to focus the camera on him, just go to a lamp post (the trick here is that the lantern is not in sight, came to thethe last second.)

In the game, the second pitch, Atkinson spots on the camera again, but this time note the lantern before him, he shows the camera recognizes his discovery falls immediately after a smart pace .....

The entire sequence took only a few seconds .....
