The Comic Strip Presents: Bad News On Tour – Two Quid For One Sausage

In the 1980’s a group of rising British comedy actors, formed The Comic Strip Presents. Peter Richardson, probably the lesser known of the group of individuals that formed the nuclues of The Comic Strip team, directed and scripted some great comedy classic capers including a fly-on-the-wall documentary that followed an up and coming British heavy metal band of no-hopers called Bad News. The group consists of Peter Richardson (drums) and three other young comedians – Nigel Planer (guitar), Rik Mayall(bass) and Ade Edmondson (lead guitar/vocals) from the cult tv comedy series, The Young Ones.

Here is one of many brilliant excerpts from the mocumentary as Den (Nigel Planer) argues over the prices of a sausage.
