Rutland Weekend Television appeared briefly on this blog's blogspot predecessor in a series of posts about TV shows using the famous White Jaguar footage, but it's high time we had some more. The show was a sketch show parodying all sorts of things from the independent television of the time (1975 to 1976) and named after the smallest county in England, which at no time would have been in a position to support its own television station. I commented on my last post about it that if you like Monty Python you will like Rutland Weekend Television, and in fact I would put it among my holy trinity of underrated comedy shows with End of Part One and The Steam Video Company. The only reason it doesn't appear here more often is simply that comedy shows tend to invite posts involving more description and less opining than I'm usually aiming for her.
