Boom Boom... Out Go The Lights

Groundbreaking alternative comedy programme bringing the new wave of humour to television for the first time. Barely noticed when it originally appeared, Boom Boom... Out Go the Lights has acquired a retrospective importance as the TV launchpad for the alternative comedy generation. With the insane optimism of youth, producer Paul Jackson originally pitched the idea of a 26-part series capturing the new cabaret scene. In the end, the BBC granted him one half-hour slot. It was the beginning of a lengthy association with alternative comedy for Jackson.
