Jasper Carrott is here to help viewers make sense of the worrisome political situation (party conferences, the threat of nuclear war, David Steel's new single). He also considers who it's still acceptable to offend in comedy.
Jasper looks back at the Conservative party conference and forward to the Royal Variety Performance. He also considers the effect of drugs on popular music and has evidence that the issue goes back decades further than many people realise.
Jasper looks to a future where people use payment cards more often than cash, and where dozens of cable TV channels will have to think of creative ways to fill their airtime. He also ponders ageing and keeping up with changes in society.
Jasper looks at how car marketing is becoming more sophisticated. He and the team also look at the growth of new-age religions and what increasing numbers of test-tube babies might mean for families of the future.
As it's by-election time, Jasper considers politicians and their public images. He also looks forward to the upcoming launch of Channel 4 and ponders the programmes old and new in its initial schedules.
Jasper is exasperated by modern kid's games such as Rubik's cube and space invaders. The ensemble cast look at the future of work, and Jasper has another dig at Sun readers.
Jasper considers how we deal with bad habits like smoking and kissing, the cast contemplate a post-Brezhnev world, and Sun readers get their revenge for being the butt of Jasper's jokes.
