[LAW, John; FELDMAN, Marty]
Frost Over England: Series One, Episode Five London: BBC, 1966
33 mimeographed pp., secured with split pin to top left corner. Title page missing, front page (running order) becoming detached, edges a little worn, stained and chipped.
SERIES ONE, EPISODE FIVE OF FROST OVER ENGLAND, CONTAINING THE CLASSIC CLASS SKETCH FEATURING JOHN CLEESE, RONNIE CORBETT AND RONNIE BARKER.
From the collection of John Cleese, though without any mark of ownership.
Frost Over England ran for two thirteen-episode series in 1966-7, with an additional two specials, and was the spawning ground for the next generation of British comedy writers and performers who made almost everything that was funny for the next thirty years.
All the Monty Python members except Terry Gilliam wrote for the show, as did Spike Mullins, Antony Jay, Keith Waterhouse, Barry Cryer, Barry Took, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett, Tim Brooke- Taylor and Bill Oddie, and Frank Muir and Dennis Norden.
Miraculously capturing the British class system in two perfect pages, John Law and Marty Feldman’s Class sketch continues to be part of the national conversation nearly sixty years after its first appearance.
