'The Comedians' was immediately popular with the viewing public scoring high ratings and gaining a BAFTA nomination for Best Light Entertainment Programme. It lasted for eleven series and several specials over twenty-two years. this specially-created compilation from its early years contains some of the best moments from series one.
