Synopsis of The Best of Not Necessarily the News
Based on the popular British series Not the Nine O'Clock News, Not Necessarily the News was an iconoclastic HBO cable-TV weekly series which ran from 1983 to 1986. Using stock film clips and incongrous narration, the cast members skewer not only the "names" in the news, but also the whole network news industry. Rabbetted between these bits are devastating and often scatological commercial parodies. The cast includes Anne Bloom, Stuart Pankin, Rich Hall, Lucy Webb, Audrey Neenan, Tom Parks, Mitchell Laurence, Danny Breen and Annabelle Gurwitch. While much of the material is dated, the energy and enthusiasm of all concerned is postively contagious. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
