First saw this as "Friday Night Live"

I remember as a kid watching Ben Elton in The Man From Auntie, and I vaguely remember seeing him in Friday Night Live before that but I had no idea it started as "Saturday Live" until looking it up just now.

British comedy was fantastic back then, so many names like Rik Mayall and Harry Enfield and Chris Barrie making great shows like Bottom, The Harry Enfield Show and Red Dwarf. I miss those days a lot.
