The most celebrated comedy routines in British history, from a remarkable comedy institution. From the infamous Dead Parrot Sketch to Michael Palin's 'I'm a Lumberjack' song; Peter Cook's peerless E.L. Wisty monologues to Rowan Atkinson's school-master's roll-call; and on through to the latest generation led by Eddie Izzard, Dylan Moran, Jack Whitehall and Russell Brand. This definitive collection brings together the very best of Amnesty International's Secret Policeman shows.
