A long-thought-lost comedy will be on show at National Film Theatre’s (London, UK) : “Out of the Trees” (BBC 1976), Graham Chapman (from Monty Python’s fame) and Douglas Adams’ comedy pilot which features Maria Aitken and cast members from Adams’ Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy (Simon Jones and Mark Wing-Davey). According the guys at Some of the corpses are amusing : “So what was Out Of The Trees? It was a comedy sketch show starring Graham Chapman and a team of semi-unknowns including Simon Jones and Mark Wing-Davey (later to play Arthur Dent and Zaphod Beeblebrox in Hitch Hiker’s ) along with Roger Brierly, Tim Preece, Maggie Henderson, Jennifer Guy, Maria Aitkin and Marjie Lawrence. Sub-titled ‘The End of the Road Show’ , it was recorded in October 1975 and broadcast only once, at 10pm on January 1976. And if the show itself lives up to the script then we have a lost classic here, guys”. more infos about Out of the trees here For more infos about the event, check right here
