The Ben Elton Show

British TV series or programme

The Ben Elton Show is a British comedy series, which aired on BBC in 1998.[1][2][3] It was a comedy-variety show, which proved a surprise, since Elton had despised the format as much as The Two Ronnies. However, this didn't avoid him from getting Ronnie Corbett to do his classic "armchair monologues", although these became much racier. The show was criticised for Elton's departure from the social commentary he was known for, and the show was cancelled after its initial series.
