This low-budget late-night comedy series from BBC2 featured a stellar lineup, including John Wells, Clive James, William Rushton, James Cameron, Kenny Everett, ex-Bonzo Dog Band frontman Vivian Stanshall, Monty Python‘s Eric Idle and John Fortune.
Episodes presented a satirical overview of the week’s events, initially under the auspices of the production crew fromLine-Up(the BBC’s weekday nightly look at the arts and current affairs).
Guests included Max Wall, Peter Sellers, Barry Humphries, Eleanor Bron, John Bird, Humphrey Lyttelton, Jake Thackray, Don Maclean, Tom Paxton, Patrick Moore and The Wurzels.
Up Sunday was sometimes quite savage in its humour, but it escaped the controversies of earlier, similar series, simply because so few people were watching.
