    LWT presented this innovative late-night comedy show starring stand-up comic Bob Mills. The title was a parody of the 1991 film In Bed with Madonna.

    Filmed in front of a live studio audience, the show was set in Mills’ flat (actually a studio set which resembled the chalet of Number Six in The Prisoner) with Mills wandering around the room telling ludicrous fictional anecdotes about his showbusiness friends and reminiscing about his (fictional) time as a television producer.

    His surreal stories were illustrated by genuine clips and outtakes from the ITV archives, which – interspersed with Mills’ heavily contrived commentaries and bizarre non-sequiturs – came together to reveal surreal fictional backstories.

    Live music interludes were provided in Series 1 and Series 2 by bands including Buzzcocks, Heatwave, The Damned, Gary Numan, Stiff Little Fingers, Nick Heyward and  Terry Hall,

    The fourth and final series was renamed Still In Bed with Medinner and Mills’ flat now resembled John Steed’s flat from The Avengers.
