Both of these satire/sketch programs served as forerunner's to Monty Python's Flying Circus and The Goodies. At Last featured Graham Chapman, Marty Feldman, John Cleese and Tim Brooke-Taylor from the "David Frost School of Cambridge Footlights Comedy". Eric Idle appeared in some episodes. 13 were made, 8 are lost.
Do Not Adjust Your Set featured 3 future Pyhtons in Eric Idle, Michale Palin and Terry Jones, plus David Jason and Denise Coffey (who performed the excellent Captain Fantasic sketches together). 27 episodes were produced and it looks like all but 11 were wiped.
