    Do Not Adjust Your Set is a 60s comedy show comprised mostly of satirical sketches, often presented in a bizarre, surreal and disjointed manner- much like that of Monty Python, a succeeding show which several of the cast became part of. 
An important Monty Python predecessor and arguably one of the finest children's sketch comedies ever produced, DNAYS is certainly something you do not want to miss... 
This volume features a compilation of classic sketches from the show, including: 
-Sport-Whackfield Wanders-Chairback Banana Grabbing-Angling-Frogmen Routine-The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band-Hello Mabel-Fortune Teller-Miniskirt-Captain Fantastic-Romeo & Juliet
