"This programme makes me wish I'd never paid my licence fee!" said one disgruntled viewer when this was first transmitted. Made by the same team behind 'A Kick Up The Eighties'; 'Laugh?' gave Robbie Coltrane one of his first series. Amongst the characters he played were smarmy quiz master 'Ted Todgers' ( host of 'Lucky Bastards' ), the Orangeman 'Mason Boyne', the leader of an alien race ( the Nimmons ) out to conquer Earth, and an Edgar Lustgarten-style criminologist. Another cast member, Louise Gold, had performed on 'The Muppet Show' and would go on to play 'The Queen' in 'Spitting Image'. Amongst the sketches were 'The Master Of Dundreich', a film serial spoofing Robert Louis Stephenson's 'The Master Of Ballantrae', while in 'Blue Movie Buff Of The Year' contestants were tested on their knowledge of soft porn films. 'Laugh?' was not well received, and has been virtually forgotten. However, it paved the way for the more successful 'Naked Video'. Elaine C.Smith appeared briefly in one episode.
