Ben Elton: The Man from Auntie
0.0

Ben Elton: The Man from Auntie was a British television comedy series written and performed by Ben Elton. The title was a play on words of the American spy series The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and 'Auntie', an informal name for the BBC. Season one aired on BBC1 in 1990 and the second with a slightly different format was aired four years later. The format was primarily based around Elton's stand-up comedy routines, with his monologues interspersed with occasional filmed sketches and parodies, as well as soundbites from chinface 'potato heads'. Another regular segment were 'Farties Guides' to such tasks as catching a train or setting up home - Elton described 'Farties' as 'you and me' - ordinary people endeavouring to make it through life despite the efforts of entities such as the 'body conspiracy' and the Ministry of Crap Design.
