KYTV - The Complete First Series

KYTV - The Complete First Series

This hilarious sketch show, starring and written by Angus Deayton and Geoffrey Perkins, began its life as the comical radio series Radio Active. Made famous for lampooning commercial radio stations, it was destined for the small screen, crossing over effortlessly to mock satellite television.

KYTV succeeded at combining irreverent sketches and variety elements with a broad-based satire of the public perception of UK satellite television at the time - that of opportunistic entrepreneurs producing cheap, low-quality television!

With clumsy links and amateurish presentation the order of the day, KYTV wouldn't be complete without malfunctioning equipment, underpaid and incompetent staff; not to mention the relentless commercial intrusions, including plugging home shopping channel the Sofa Shop!

Fear not! Many items can still be ordered. Amazon in the UK delivers to many international territories, whilst their Australia, USA and Canada stores also supply many equivalent or imported items.

If you are in the North America, look out for US/Canadian flag icons on popular product listings for direct links.

If you order from a UK store, please note that the UK is in Region 2 and B, respectively, for DVDs and Blu-rays - check your player's compatibility, or look for multi-region products if you are located in another region.

If you are in Australia or New Zealand (DVD Region 4), note that almost all DVDs distributed in the UK by the BBC and 2entertain are encoded for both Region 2 and Region 4. The UK and Australasia are in the same Blu-ray region (B).
