And of course Otway and the Damned appear in it.

Was the inclusion of the music segments to get around some rule like they did it in the Goons?

The last two episodes are the best, though Bomb and Cash come close.

Nasty is my fave

Yes I thought I remembered something like that.

Bambi, Boring, and I don't know the title but the one where Alexei Sayle does his Mussolini bit, I think an early one, are my favourites. As a Sayle fan I think he stole the show in the ones he was in, I think I read somewhere that rankled the others but I could be wrong. Oh and of course the one where Motorhead play Ace Of Spades live. ♠

Yes!

And the one where Alexi Sayle went to complain about the noise in the flat above, which sounded like a seal going round and round on a motor-bike, and when the door was opened he was greeted by a seal wearing a crash-helmet. 😆

Those are Cash (2.2) and Boring (1.3).
Some people disliked Lex in the series, but for me he was an essential part of the anarchy.

I remember reading about that. It also explains why there's a lion tamer in 1.6 (Flood).
