The Comic Strip presents… with Peter Richardson & Alexei SayleMaking its debut in November 1982 on Channel 4, The Comic Strip Presents is an ongoing project by a group of prominent comedians including Adrian Edmondson, Rik Mayall, Nigel Planer, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Alexi Sayle and Peter Richardson, although at the time many of them were just starting out on their careers, since it’s conception it attracted an incredible array of well-known stars and directors creating some forty short films and full length cinema productions and became a legendary success.
We are delighted to present a selection of these cult comedy classics that all have a unique connection to Devon and the local areas which were used as locations.
Peter Richardson who starred in and produced many episodes will be in conversation over two special nights with stars from the show.
On Friday 17th April Peter will be in conversation with Alexei Sayle and they will be sharing stories while we screen:
The Supergrass (1985)
Q&A Peter Richardson in conversation with Alexei Sayle
Best of Devon – a selection of clips from the series filmed in the local area

Alexei Sayle is an actor and writer, known for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), Alexei Sayle's Stuff (1988) and Whoops Apocalypse (1982) and in February 1984, he reached number 15 in the UK Singles Chart with the novelty song "'Ullo John! Gotta New Motor?"
