End of Part One: The Complete Series

Bringing the Pythonesque humour of cult Radio 4 series The Burkiss Way to television, this surreal, satirical soap opera/sketch show was the first TV series from multi-award-winning screenwriters Andrew Marshall and David Renwick.

End of Part One’s combination of short, sharp sketches and inspired, mildly deranged slapstick paralleled Not the Nine o’Clock News, to which the writers would contribute; both afford ample opportunity to parody the style and content of late ’70s television (continuity announcements and adverts included). This set presents both series, complete and uncut, for the very first time.
