The Innes Book of Records was a BBC Television series by Neil Innes. Each episode in the series was an anthology of short music videos featuring Innes and other performers. In the first series, at the beginning of each episode, a short video showed a man in a spacesuit exploring a deserted house, finding a record player covered in cobwebs, sitting down, and listening to a record, beginning the first song and its accompanying video.
