Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"'I remember the excitement of the early years of Channel 4 as a defining moment in television history. In particular for me the significant expansion of opportunities for comedy and entertainment which the channel brought about was exhilarating. Saturday Live was a completely new entertainment experience; it came from London Weekend Television and featured many new young performers never before seen by the Saturday night primetime audience. Dorothy Hobson watched the development, rehearsals and transmissions of those early programmes and accurately captures their importance to the channel, the production teams and also the viewers.'- Paul Jackson, Director of Entertainment and Comedy, ITV."
