6. Back to Normal with Eddie Monsoon
Community Score
| 5.4 Mediocre |
TV personality Eddie Monsoon shoots for the gutter as he hosts a variety & chat show that tackles topics like what hobbies homosexuals prefer, how to properly pick a fight in a pub at closing time, and embalming for beginners. Eddie performs a song about how 1983 will be an improvement over 1982, extolling the values of capital punishment in schools, labor camps, and enforcing the death penalty for elderly shoplifters, and he digs for dirt on celebrities like Elton John and Roger Moore in an interview with homosexual black actor Alan Pellay.
Guest star: Peter Richardson, Jennifer Saunders, Pete Richens, Nigel Planer, Dawn French, Adrian Edmondson
