British surreal comedy has had quite an evolution. Before and after Monty Python (1969) there was (some highlights):
The Goon Show (radio)(1951-1960). Included Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers, and Harry Secombe. Very influential.
Beyond the Fringe (1964). Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
At Last the 1948 Show (1967-1968) (included Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Marty Feldman, and Tim Brooke-Taylor (of The Goodies).
Do Not Adjust Your Set (1967-1969) (included Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Terry Gilliam).
How to Irritate People (1968)(single show featuring John Cleese.)
Marty (1968) and It’s Marty (1969). (Many of the above.)
The Q Series (1969-1982). Spike Milligan. There were six series in all, the first five numbered from Q5 to Q9, and a final series titled There’s a Lot of It About. Q5 heavily influence Monty Python.
The Marty Feldman Comedy Machine (1971).
The Goodies (1970-1980).
Derek and Clive Get the Horn (1979). Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
The Young Ones (19821984).
