At this risk of hijacking my own thread again - Star Wars exists as The Holy Trilogy above mortal fallible trilogies where BTTF resides.
Re: The Footlights, is there anyone up and coming current and recent to look out for?
Star Wars ain't a trilogy, Lucas the fool saw to that.
Besides, 'Jedi' was a pile of shit, anyway.
Star Wars, Star Trek, Stardust, Star Search, Stars In Their Eyes, anything beginning with "Star" is pretty much terrible.
Back on topic...
Some comedians were in the Footlights, many weren't. Less of an influence, in your chances of being handed your own radio/TV comedy, than it was ten or twenty years ago. An Oxbridge degree is always going to help you if you want to work for the Beeb, however. One could make that case for any public institution, of course.
