The Adam and Joe Show (1996–2001)
DIY Low-Budget TV - A Hilarious Parody of Pop Culture !
15 June 2018
Adam Buxton + Joe Cornish write, film, act in, edit and host their own home-made TV show which parodies contemporary popular culture. Star wars figures act out famous TV shows, soft toys act out films, Adam + Joe go undercover to reveal the truth about consumer culture, and Adam's father reviews the latest pop music (with little optimism !). Not to forget the Vinyl Police Squad 'arresting' famous musicians for owning appalling 'criminal records' .

I used to watch this every week; my favourite show as a 15-year-old ! Extremely unpretentious, just juvenile but witty entertainment on a Friday evening when the lads/ladettes were all out getting rat-arsed and us 'grunge-weirdos' preferred the idyllic pursuit of staying at home + watching some good quality TV !
