Do Not Adjust Your Set (Series 1 episode 2)
A more adult tone creeps into some of the sketches, in this second episode of the seminal series.
Director: Daphne Shadwell
Overview
A more adult tone creeps into some of the sketches β notably the initial routine in which Denise Coffey is attempting to identify a βfilthy beastβ (louchely played by Vivian Stanshall), and in the hospital sketch, as bossy doctor Idle snaps at meek patient Jones βyouβre not in a strip clubβ.
Elsewhere, we see Denise sending up stuffy BBC-style kidsβ TV, the kind of Jones/Palin overgrown schoolboys and suburban Supermen weβll meet again in Python, disturbingly made-up Bonzos delivering a thoroughly frightening Look Out Thereβs a Monster Coming and hear some entertainingly extraneous tuba tootles overflowing across the end credits.
