	Remembering "Comic Strip Present" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Comic Strip Presents, "Five Go Mad In Dorset." It was a great way to launch Britain's second independent commercial channel, and announced that a new sort of comedy - and television - had arrived.
		Comic Strip was the brainchild of Peter Richardson, who a few years earlier had opened a comedy club in London's Soho district featuring the then-unknown talent of Nigel Planer, Rik Mayall,
		For comics used to getting the instant laugh in front of a live audience, it was exhilarating in the Comic Strip episodes to be able to create characters, mood, and go for deeper kind of comedy.

		Not the best Comic Strip film ever made (trying to do sci-fi on a budget is always a difficult task) it does however contain some good performances, notably Ade Edmonson as the icy cool protagonist and narrator, and Peter Richardson as Squeaker, a manic character who always knows and says too much.
		Generally, the Comic Strip films made for the BBC are deemed to be of a lower quality than those made for Channel Four.
		Many of The Comic Strip films are not as well known as they should be and it’s about time that they were treated with the respect they deserve.

	Comic strip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Later strips, such as The Phantom and Terry and the Pirates, were usually only half that size, with two strips to a page in full size newspapers, such as the New Orleans Times Picayune, or with one strip on a tabloid page, as in the Chicago Daily News.
		The Little Bears was the first American comic with recurring characters; The Yellow Kid the first color comic, part of the first Sunday comic section in 1897 and the source of the term "yellow journalism"); Mutt and Jeff was the first daily comic strip, first appearing in 1907.
		Some comic strips, such as Doonesbury and The Boondocks, are often printed on the editorial or op-ed page rather than the comics page, because of their regular political commentary.

	The Comic Strip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Comic Strip is a group of British comedians, best known collectively for their television series The Comic Strip Presents...
		The script – which, uniquely for the Comic Strip, was written as a collaboration by the entire cast – was later published, along with the rest of the series, in book form.
		It was not broadcast under the Comic Strip name, partly because of the original group only Richardson appears (he is the only performer to have been in every single episode), and partly because co-star and co-writer Keith Allen did not want to be so closely associated with the group.

		Jeremy Isaacs sanctioned development of the first official Comic Strip film in 1982 with haste and, you have to begrudge the fusty curmudgeon, fine judgement.
		The first Comic Strip film to display absolutely no charm or sophistication whatsoever, the derivative set-pieces, ridiculous characterization and terrible dialogue render most of this almost unwatchable.
		The Comic Strip wilderness years came to a sudden end half a decade after the close of the dreadful 1993 season.

	Stella Street: Peter Richardson
		One of the defining British comedies of the 1980s was The Comic Strip Presents…, which was the first comedy programme on the new Channel 4 in 1983 (Five Go Mad in Dorset).
		A highlight is the Comic Strip episode The Strike, where he plays Al Pacino as Arthur Scargill to Jennifer Saunder’s Meryl Streep (a touch of the juxtaposition later to be used to such effect in Stella Street).
		The Comic Strip Presents… Five Go Mad in Dorset was the first comedy programme on Channel 4 (it went out on their first evening).

		The Comic Strip gets its name from a Stage show/revue of the same name which ran from Oct 1980 to July 1981 and starred the regulars that appear in the TV Comic Strip films (Richardson, Sayle, Planer, Mayall, Edmondson, French and Saunders among others).
		Generally these later Comic Strips are not as interesting as the early shows.
		Ratings: As all the Comic strip episode (with a few exceptions) have very different storylines and characters, some shows hit the mark a lot better than others.

		Starting in The "Comic strip night club" in the early 80's they turned many a famous head.
		Ranging from famous five re-makes to posing as heavy metal super-stars, the comic strip team have excelled in over 30 TV films and a number of feature movies.
		Building a base for Mayall and Edmondson to leap foward, they have gone on to become household names appearing in such favourites as "Bottom" and "The young ones" (also with Nigel Planer.) All in all the comic strip team have achieved comic greatness at the very highest level.

		While many thousands of words have been written about the Comic Strip Presents TV films - mostly in praise but some vitriolic in their scorn - it is likely that no better description exists of these unique contributions to British TV.
		Financed by theatrical impresario Michael White - who presented the 1963 revue Cambridge Circus in the West End, which led, eventually, to Monty Python and The Goodies by way of radio gem I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again - the Comic Strip club had opened in October 1980 at the Boulevard Theatre in London.
		Like the Comedy Store before it, this was located within a Soho strip joint, but, unlike that other and more famous venue, what was staged at the Comic Strip was more like a show, with the same personnel repeating nightly - and honing, all the while - the same act.

		Coming at a time when its schedules continue to be wall-to-wall reality shows, this mammoth nine-disc set is a reminder that the channel used to be committed to breaking genuine talent instead of giving a platform to insufferable fame-hounds.
		Initially performing every night in a strip club in Soho, they were a natural fit for the nascent, anarchic Channel 4, who commissioned a series to coincide with the stations launch.
		Among the DVD extras is Julien Temple's 1981 behind-the-scenes film about the Comic Strip club, which offers a fascinating snapshot of the birth of alternative comedy while showcasing the burlesque theatricality that infused much of the artistic landscape of early 1980s post-punk era.
