Press clippings
Peter Cook & Co (LWT) was very funny in spots. So were Morecambe and Wise (Thames). The first episode of Flickers (ATV) was no funnier than an abcessed ear, but it might improve.
Clive James, The Observer, 21st September 1980The first Flickers was rather too crowded for comfort but bear with it for it is by Roy Clarke, writer of that golden series The Last of the Summer Wine, and it seems to shake into shape.
