The Kenny Everett Video Show lays down the blueprints for the zany comics later and more influential Television show, but in its own right is as funny, innovative and as welcome as anything Cuddly Ken had ever created on the airwaves or the tube. The impact of the series was so strong from the public, and the viewing figures so great that Everett was blasted in to Superstardom, and the outcome of which was the later and better Television Series. The Video Show is packed with wonderfully innovative visuals which may look crude or cheap by today's standards but were truly groundbreaking in the late 70s and early 80s.
