1990's

Information on every episode from the 1990's

The 1990's saw the show broadcast two series a year for the first time (apart from 1993).  There were 120 unique shows during this decade with Humph appearing in all of them.

​

Cassettes of the show sold by the BBC had episodes edited out of sequence.  Thanks to the kindly old archivist these episodes have been restored.

​

It was during the 1990's that Denise Coffey and Bill Tidy made their last appearances. It was during this decade that Paul Merton, Tony Hawks, Jeremy Hardy, Sandi Toksvig, Fred MacAuley, Max Boyce, Phil Jupitus and Andy Hamilton all made their debuts.

​

In 1995 Kenny Everett died.  He had made 2 appearances in the show during the 1980's.

In 1996 Willie Rushton died.  He hadn't missed an episode since 1979 and appeared in 201 episodes.

​

'Swanee Kazoo' was played for the first time in this decade.
