Three of a Kind, The humour, the social commentary, the sarcasm, the absolute lack of sexist and racist humour. Back then, this was pretty ground breaking. Sure it had been going in at 'alternative cabarets' etc. around London and Student Union's, but would the mainstream monocultural couch potatoes be able to appreciate this 'new wave of humour'? Three of a Kind worked, and how, reaching a wider audience than the narrow intellectual trendy students, it showed how what had been called alternative humour could go mainstream.
And yes, Tracy was there, and flanked by Dave and Lenny...Killer combo. Rent it just to see the Social Worker Stint.
