Monkey Dust.
It was such a viscerally funny show, which never really got the chance to shine in its 3 seasons. It's a little dated now but it's still got some brutal takes that are relevant today.
I love monkey dust. Most of the sketches are still relevant and really funny. Definitely worth a watch for those who haven't seen it.
Good luck getting hold of it though.
So difficult to find in one place tho. There are sketches available on YouTube but no episodes sadly.
I found it out on the high seas one time so I have all the episodes. I liked it so much I also tried to buy all the seasons on DVD. Sadly only season 1 is available, apparently there were licensing issues with the music for season 2 and 3 that prevented it from being released.
The show's creator died young: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Thompson
Real shame as monkey dust was one of the darkest comedies I've seen and had some great characters.
Yeah, his death was also responsible for Mark Lamarr leaving Nevermind the Buzzcocks and that show never had the same edge after.
