Rowan Atkinson - Not the nine o'clock news(5) 1982

[@fyrchmyrddin1937]

I'd forgotten how beautiful & talented Pamela Stephenson was. Billy Connolly is a very lucky man.

[@pavelskrabanek7064]

Atkinson at the age of 27, nice find!

[@AlexAlexon3897]

The last sketch made me howl then and still does! It resonated because Cozy Powell's drumming solo hits of the mid-'70s really did sound like locomotives.😀

[@lauriehamilton2436]

Rowan!!! Thanks so much for whoever posted this, so classic💜

[@kieranryan6148]

That ‘MOD Monarch’ song is as good as any ‘legitimate’ top ten song.. what a hit!

Man so much future Mr. Bean here. I love it.

I can't believe this was 44 years ago. Seems like yesterday.

Post Monty Python, one of the best sketch shows of all time.

[@chrisbraid2907]

Pre I think ....

[@Alun49]

@@chrisbraid2907 Nope! Monty Python was late 1960's early 1970's. NTNOCN was in the 1980's.

[@seivaDsugnA]

@@Alun49 No it wasn't.

[@Hammern28]

@@seivaDsugnA Not The Nine O'Clock News, was 1979 - 1982, while Monthy Python started their their craziness all the way back in 1969, and went up till end of 80's and then some.

@@Hammern28 This isn't an argument. It's just contradiction.

Comedians must have wept bitterly when Maggie was pushed out of number 10 😭, she was a gold mine 😄 !

[@neilwilson5785]

The Dutch subtitles make this even funnier for some reason.

[@robalexander8065]

Brilliant pastiche of Angela Rippon's very mannered pronounciation of African names.

[@dannydetonator]

Would be deemed racist as hell now, not passing the Ofcom. No-one's offended here, she's the funniest woman i've seen.

[@NickJohnCoop]

Rowen is *the* master psychical comedian.

[@kyleB061]

Rowan or Lee Evans?

[@NickJohnCoop]

@@kyleB061 Rowen Obviously.

[@WalkingDday]

The bit about pre menstrual stress is up to date.

[@robwilde855]

Indeed! [At 9.38.]

[@piushalg8175]

Yes, and it needs to be taken very seriously.

[@JackoJ15]

South Park used the abortion joke from this hahah.

[@thewomble1509]

It just dawned on me how much the Fast show was influenced by NTNON.

[@sarahwestwood9730]

Both great shows!

[@GudieveNing]

Suits you Sir!

Mr Bean on drums at 10:30 and 13:45!

Gal Kavčič Correct!

[@dblissmn]

1980, this, not 1982. Note the copyright at the end of the sequence.

[@televisierewind5404]

Thx for you're remark. This episode I'm showing on the Televisie Rewind channel, has been broadcast in Holland on October the 31th 1982. Has nothing tot do with copyright being from 1980....

[@dblissmn]

@@televisierewind5404 Indeed, but if you scroll to the end of the clip you'll see a copyright note dated MCMLXXX -- Latin numbers for 1980 -- which is the original BBC broadcast. Hence the Angela Rippon spoof on her coverage of Zimbabwe independence.

[@televisierewind5404]

@@dblissmn Yeah, I know all that. But I'm merely stating the fact that it was broadcast in 1982 on dutch television for the first time, hence the year 1982 written next to the clip headline....😎.

[@nthgth]

What's that song at the end? I like it

RIP Mel Smith but Gryff hasn't been funny in years

[@yoya4766]

Griff Rhys Jones is the least talented. Pamela, Rowan and Mel the most.

[@DieFlabbergast]

Apart from being pretty (if that counts as a talent), Pamela seems to have hardly any talent at all. Personally, I always found Rhys Jones to be at least as funny as Mel, if not more.

[@ВладимирКруглов-к9о]

@@DieFlabbergast Come on, she's a good actress. They all were! Though I personally tire of Rowan very quickly. He's the one overrated and overexposed, I feel.

[@normanmeharry58]

They were a good team and if they were making such shows today many would be entertained and delighted.

[@yoya4766]

He's dull and boring in real life, which does come through. His characters are painstakingly defined as opposed to being a natural comic.

[@kieranryan6148]

One shouldn’t single any one out.. together they were a ground breaking creative force.. but if I had too I found Mel to be a naturally funny, down-to-earth and intellectual bloke who was master at keeping a straight face... his voice wasn’t bad either - could even imho have given meatLoaf a run for his money 🛵🤴🏾
