Created by leading comedy producer Paul Jackson (The Young Ones) Saturday Live was broadcast on Channel 4 in the mid-80s and brought the energy and vigour of the live alternative comedy circuit straight to a waiting UK TV audience. Some of comedy’s most iconic characters made their name here and many would go on to become huge stars, including Ben Elton, Harry Enfield, Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. Also showcasing American comedians like Emo Phillips, Rita Rudner and Sam Kinnison, Saturday Live was a massive hit with the viewing public and this special DVD release contains the best moments from the first series, originally broadcast at the beginning of 1986.
