Most Stupid Videotape Ever? The Dangerous Brothers Present – World of Danger

There are many facets of 1980s UK television whose political incorrectness would not be acceptable in the 2020s. This particular facet of 1980s television was not even acceptable in the 1980s. Banned from Channel 4 for a sketch in which they manhandled prostitutes and pushed one out of a window, The Dangerous Brothers protested by demolishing a wall at London Weekend TV, and smashing up a Vauxhall Viva in the TV executives’ car park under cover of night… Before discovering it was their own vehicle…

Released on VHS, The Dangerous Brothers Present – World of Danger is self-evidently one of the most stupid videotapes ever made. It charts an eight-part run of TV appearances from Richard and Sir Adrian Dangerous – AKA Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson – in the run up to their ban. It also includes the ninth, banned episode, which was never at any point shown on TV, and the aforementioned car park rampage.
