The Secret Policeman's Ball - The Early Years [Pleasure at Her Majesty's and Mermaid Frolics] [DVD]

Back in the day, if you wanted to raise money you stood on street corner with a tin and a smile. Step forward Mr John Cleese, who rounded up a few friends in 1976 for Amnesty's first show, A Poke In The Eye (With A Sharp Stick). Of course it helps if your "friends" include the Monty Python crew, Peter Cook, Alan Bennett, Neil Innes, John Bird and The Goodies. This is Volume One of the first ever Secret Policman's Ball including shows 'Pleasure at her Majesty's (1976), and Mermaid Frolics (1977).
