Not The Nine O'Clock News

*Adapted from text generated by AI.*

**Not The Nine O'Clock News** was a British satirical sketch comedy television series that originally aired on BBC Two from 1979 to 1982. The show featured a mix of sketches, musical performances, and satirical commentary on current events. The cast included comedians Rowan Atkinson, Pamela Stephenson, Griff Rhys Jones, and Mel Smith. The series gained popularity for its irreverent and often politically charged humour, addressing social and political issues of the time.

The programme gained its title from the fact that The Nine O'Clock News was being broadcast on BBC One at the same time. *Not The Nine O'Clock News* was therefore an alternative to the news proper.

Rowan Atkinson's performances on the show helped establish him as a prominent comedic talent, and he went on to achieve widespread fame with his later projects, including *Mr. Bean* and *Blackadder*. Griff Rhys Jones and Mel Smith later developed their own show *Alas Smith and Jones* which aired on BBC One for a total of ten series from 1984 to 1998. Smith died in 2013, aged 60. Pamela Stephenson later became a psychologist and author, and she's also known for her marriage to comedian Billy Connolly.

## Discography

The show also gave rise to recordings of sketches and songs being released as albums by the BBC.

* *Not The Nine O'Clock News (Original Television Soundtrack)* (1980)
* *Hedgehog Sandwich* (1981)

Radio 1 Club

**Radio 1 Club** (sometimes written as Radio One Club) was a BBC Radio 1 weekday programme broadcast live, initially from the Paris Theatre, London and later from locations around the UK. The two hour lunchtime show was intended as a link between the listeners, DJs and popular recording artists and featured DJs playing records and bands playing live to a club members audience. The first club date and show was broadcast on Monday, 21st October 1968[1], hosted by Keith Skues, with guest DJ Tony Blackburn. The Tremeloes played live.

The popular Club show seems to have been taken off air after October 1971 although returned a year later with a new time slot of 5.00 pm and a regular rota of DJ presenters.[2] Radio One Club lasted until January 1974, later replaced in the form of the Radio 1 Roadshow.

Pink Floyd

**Pink Floyd** are a British rock band formed in London in 1965. They began as one of the first psychedelic pop groups to gain mainstream success in the late 1960s. After the departure of founder member Syd Barrett, the group, with the remaining four members Roger Waters (bass guitar, vocals), David Gilmour (guitar, vocals), Nick Mason (drums) and Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals), became more orientated towards conventional rock, developing the 'prog rock' genre with elements such as long and complex compositions, often with limited vocal elements.

During the 1970s Pink Floyd released several successful albums, most notably *The Dark Side of the Moon* (1973), *Wish You Were Here* (1975), *Animals* (1977) and *The Wall* (1979), the latter noted also for its elaborate live performance involving the construction of an actual wall on stage which gradually covered the band and performers. Wright left after this tour, although later re-joined. Waters also left in 1985, never to re-join although has since performed Pink Floyd material live, including his own version of *The Wall*.

Pink Floyd released two more albums - *A Momentary Lapse of Reason* (1987) and *The Division Bell* (1994) - before a lengthy hiatus. Their latest album *The Endless River* was released in 2014.

Although far from being a 'singles' band, notable songs include See Emily Play, Arnold Lane, Money, Comfortably Numb and above all Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2, which reached no.1 in December 1979, and was the final no.1 single of the decade.

Martin Gore

**Martin Gore** (Martin Lee Gore, aka Martin L. Gore, M. L. Gore, b. 23 July 1961) is a British musician, vocalist, songwriter, recording artist and record producer best known as a member of Depeche Mode of which he is a founding member and the principal songwriter.  As well as being with the band, together with Dave Gahan and Andy Fletcher , since 1980 he has also recorded and released solo work and collaborated with other artists including former bandmate Vince Clarke.

After Clarke left the group in late 1981, Gore became Depeche Mode's main songwriter. The group's first hit single written by him was See You which reached no.6 in March 1982. He wrote all the songs for the band's second album *A Broken Frame* issued later in the year. Some songwriting was later contributed by new member Alan Wilder who joined the group for live work in 1982 and then as a full member from 1983. All the group's hits since 1982 have been written by Gore, with the sole exception of Suffer Well (2006) written by Gahan with Phillpott and Eigner.

Although most of the band's output has featured Dave Gahan as lead vocalist, Gore has also sung lead vocals to some of his own songs over the years. The first hit to feature him as lead vocalist was Somebody, a track taken form the 1984 album *Some Great Reward* and issued as a single in 1985. Other hits with Gore lead vocal are A Question of Lust (1986) and Home (1997).

As a solo artist, Gore has released recordings of cover versions, firstly as an EP Counterfeit (1989) and then as a full album *Counterfeit²* (1983). In 2015 he released an album of purely electronic instrumentals, entitled *MG*.

Pop Quiz

***Pop Quiz*** is a British television quiz programme originally broadcast on BBC One from 04 July 1981 until 28 December 1984, hosted by radio 1 DJ Mike Read.

The programme consisted of Read posing questions to two teams of three people from the world of rock and pop music to test their knowledge on the subject. The game consisted of team and individual rounds of questions. Contestants were generally unassociated although the final show in 1984 was a Duran Duran vs. Spandau Ballet special, with band members fighting it out between them "to the death".

A *Top of the Pops* 30th Anniversary Special was broadcast on 04 January 1994, again hosted by Read.

*Pop Quiz* was revived in May 1994 continuing until July, again on BBC One this time hosted by Chris Tarrant. It was revived again on Red TV from 14 June to 30 August 2008 with Mike Read returning as host, although featuring non-celebrities as contestants. Two specials sub-titled 'The Comeback' were also shown on BBC Four in December 2016 and January 2017. The teams featured mostly 'eighties' pop stars such as Toyah Willcox, Tom Bailey, Andy McCluskey, Steve Norman, Mari Wilson, Nick Heyward, Cheryl Baker, Jay Aston and Ranking Roger.
Matt Smith

**Matt Smith** (Matthew Robert Smith**,** b. 28 October 1982) is a British actor, best known for his role as the eleventh Doctor in the long-running BBC series *Doctor Who*.

When he left *Doctor Who* at the end of 2013, he appeared on stage as Patrick Bateman in *American Psycho: The Musical*.

In 2016 he took the part of HRH Prince Philip Mountbatten, The Duke of Edinburgh, in the Netflix series *The Crown*, and received great acclaim, leaving the role at the end of the second series in late 2017.

Before embarking on a career in acting, Smith played football at youth level for Northampton Town, Nottingham Forest and Leicester City until a serious back condition ended his highly promising career prematurely.
