Also known as TW3, this was a satirical BBC programme shown in a series of 23x50mins (24/11/62 to 27/04/62) and 14x50mins in (28/09/63 to 28/12/63), produced by Ned Sherrin and presented by David Frost. The programme was groundbreaking in lampooning the establishment. The Profumo affair became one of the targets for derision. Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was initially supportive of the series. Script-writers included John Betjeman, John Bird, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Peter Cook, Roald Dahl, Frank Muir, Denis Norden, Bill Oddie, Dennis Potter, Eric Sykes and Keith Waterhouse. The most acclaimed edition was broadcast 23/11/63, the day after the assassination of JFK. This shortened 20-minute edition, with no satire, was screened on NBC in the US the following day. NBC also broadcast its' own version of TW3, initially a pilot (10/11/1963), then as a series (10/01/64 to 05/65), featuring Frost. The pilot featured Henry Fonda and Gene Hackman. The regular cast included Alan Alda and a guest was Woody Allen.

Instead of attacking tradition, custom, religion and identity head on, get the people to laugh at them. This is what they did and this is what they still do. They have won.
R.I.P. John Bird.
I was there. Hard to believe now but UK pubs emptied on that Saturday night Not Miss show, ( no tv's in pubs then). Hard hitting, it was scrapped politically, 1963, by no-chinned shinies, sat on their bums all day, wondering what to do next....the Crime of the Decade.
As an American I can see the genesis of the Daily Show, Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher in this. I'm old enough to recall the American version of this show in the mid-sixites.
3:05 - Gotta hate it when the camera dolly runs into the cable.
That was a good show.

That's Tom Lehrer with two r's.
Who is the singer? She looks so familiar, but don't necessarily recognize the voice.

Yes, it was on NBC in 1964-5.
577666 - WHATCHU TALKING ABOUT ??? I guess you didn't watch the Smothers Brothers, Laugh In, Soap, or any other propaganda shows from some of the wonderful period of TV.
I can't believe we watched this propoganda.
