Wiki.
Alexei Sayle's Merry-Go-Round is a comedy sketch show which ran on BBC2 for a total of 6 episodes over one series in May and June 1998. Edgar Wright directed the series.
Alexei Sayle's Merry-Go-Round was almost identical in format to The All New Alexei Sayle Show except with yet another change of writers. This time they included Kevin Cecil, Dave Cummings, Kevin Gildea, Andy Riley and show director Edgar Wright.
Sketches included Noel Fielding, Omid Djalili, Lee Hurst, Paul Putner, Gemma Rigg, Reece Shearsmith, Jessica Stevenson, David Walliams and Peter Serafinowicz.
The continuing adventures of Bobby Chariot were chronicled. Now free from any obligation to be Alexei's warm-up man, he traversed a series of other career cul-de-sacs under the appalling management of the repulsive "Edna" (played by Denise Coffey). Meanwhile, Alexei Sayle himself was depicted as living in a Teletubbies-style burrow somewhere in the posh part of North London.
The show's theme song is a cover of "Merry-Go-Round" by Wild Man Fischer. This was the last series Sayle made for the BBC.
