The cast or ensemble players included Dame Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie CBE OBE, Siobhan Redmond MBE, Rob Coltrane OBE, Ben Elton and Stephen Fry early In their careers. The two seasons are enjoyable and entertaining at times. I preferred this show to fry and Laurie sketch series. The show is for fans of the cast. You can see their talent and creativity early on in the eighties.
