- The 1989 show returned to the roots of the series with an emphasis on comedy and eschewing the music that, by the 1987 show, had come to be an equal component of the Balls.

The show took place over four nights in late August through early September 1989 at London's Cambridge Theatre and was directed -- in a demonstration of cross-generational entente -- by John Cleese and Absolutely Fabulous cocreator/star Jennifer Saunders.

- The Climate and the Cross was commissioned by the Guardian. The film explores some of the different ways in which the issue of climate change is understood by American Christians. Religious freedom and access to abundant natural resources have been cornerstones of the American identity for centuries. This context goes some way to explaining America's status as the largest producer of green-house gasses, and also the very high rates of religious affiliation - unusual for a wealthy nation. Spanning across 7 states, The Climate and the Cross explores the different ways that Christians understand climate change. As well as exploring their Christian beliefs, the film also asks how other factors such as place, political identity, race, class and the experience of extreme weather events coalesce to shape views on global warming.
- Although tribal fighting has long been present in the Papua New Guinea highlands, the influx of modern automatic weaponry in the 1990s turned local disputes into swift lethal exchanges which threatened to permanently reshape highlands culture. Bootlegged copies of the American film Rambo circulated in remote communities, becoming a crude tutorial on the use of such weaponry. The influence of the film was so pronounced that the term Rambo is now used in Papuan dialects to describe hired mercenaries who are paid to support local combatants in violent tribal disputes. The services of Rambos were suddenly in high demand as a variety of M16s and Indonesian military weaponry found its way down the Sepik River through swap-laden smuggling routes. The automatic machinery has had a chilling effect on dispute resolutions. Obtaining an automatic rifle can become the ultimate ticket to regional power and tribes are going to great lengths to buy into this new system. The cultural knowledge of tribal fighting, which had been proudly handed down for tens of thousands of years, has exceedingly been replaced by a handful of steel machinery. Lost Rambos explores the impact and evolution of fighting through the recent history of Kompiam, a town buried deep in the northern region of the PNG highlands in Enga Province, a region renowned for intense tribal disputes. In recent years Kompiam has experienced several tribal fights with around 80 recorded deaths, not to mention destruction of local infrastructure and hundreds of houses burnt to the ground. Two tribes remain in active dispute with the Tinalapin tribe still occupying the land of its enemy the Sambe. This film unpacks the conflict by featuring voices from both tribes, including alternate viewpoints within the leadership of the Tinalapins. Characters include the War Leader (Pyaren Pyato) who convinced the tribe to fight, the head Warrior (Goden Lapyale) who led the fighters into battle and a Peacemaker (Joseph Lakai) who returns for the first time since the fighting began with a message of peace for his tribe. We also experience an alternate view from a Sambe family who have been displaced by the war, and are struggling to survive in exile having lost their land and many young tribesman. The four viewpoints allow for a nuanced perspective on fighting pushing beyond the stated causes of tribal fighting which is often blamed on disputes over land, women and pigs. Instead this film subtly interrogates the deeper causes alongside the impact of the weaponry, exploring the lack of government intervention and security services, the profound cultural value given to family loyalty, and the vast gender imbalance in the traditional highlands hierarchy. Lost Rambos unpacks tribal conflict from all angles to explore the complexities of a traditional practice rapidly drawn into the modern day.
