Sketch show starring Rory McGrath, Jimmy Mulville, Emma Thompson, Robert Bathurst, Martin Bergman (series 1) and Griff Rhys Jones (Series 2 & 3). This series was an early showcase for these Cambridge Footlights graduates (although by the time Griff Rhys Jones joined the cast in 1981 he was already well known thanks to 'Not the Nine O'Clock News'). Rory McGrath and Jimmy Mulville went on to star in the Channel 4 series 'Who Dares Wins' which was in many ways a TV transfer of 'Injury Time'.
