Friday Night Live (Channel 4 UK TV) was reason enough to come back from the pub before last orders on a Friday night. It was simply the best thing on TV at the time. Hosted by Ben Elton, before he started writing stage shows about Queen and Rod Stewart, when his material was quite dangerous, FNL featured nearly every 'alternative' cemedian of the day. Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Ade Edmonson, Rik Mayall all appeared along with genuine heroes of comedy such as Peter Cook and Barry Humphreys. Music also featured and much to my delight, one evening The Stranglers performed their new single 'Shakin' Like A Leaf' (later officially released on The video 'The Men In Black In Colour') and 'No More Heroes' which appears here....
No More Heroes
