The Stanley Baxter Series
The Stanley Baxter Series is a British comedy TV show starring Stanley Baxter. It aired on ITV in 1981 and had one series of six 30-minute episodes, produced by London Weekend Television. The six episodes were shown on Saturday evenings from 17 October to 21 November 1981. This was Baxter’s first weekly sketch show in nine years since The Stanley Baxter Picture Show, after he had focused on one-off specials. It took about five and a half months to make. Baxter was nominated for the British Academy Television Award for Best Entertainment Performance, but lost to Nigel Hawthorne for Yes Minister.
