Innovative and influential, and originally envisaged as children’s show, Do Not Adjust Your Set was a madcap early-evening comedy sketch show that quickly acquired a cult following with Swinging Sixties adults, who rushed home from work to see it. Written by and starring Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, with great performances and additional material by David Jason and Denise Coffey, it also provided an early showcase for the hilarious animations of Terry Gilliam, and the brilliantly bizarre musical antics of the legendary Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band.
The pilot was a Boxing Day special screened the same day as the Beatles 'Magical Mystery Tour'. Previously thought lost, the songs and sketches include: Boxing Day dance, Bonzo's Jollity Farm and Captain Fantastic.
