you can't find love in a hole the song

Visit any bookstore and you'll find there are aisles and aisles of books devoted to love and all its possible outcomes and consequences. Books that tell you how to find your soul mate, how to make sure you're irresistible to them by re-inventing yourself, how you should feel and how to manipulate a potential mate into acting the way you think they should act...crowd each aisle.
The art of the alternative comedy era was firstly, one of excitement and anti establishment. Hardly a ground breaking prospect when you think about it in today's terms, yet a show like 'Not The Nine o'clock News,' was floodlit in it's forward thinking, surrealism in the same light as Python in the Sixties and The Goons further back in the Fifties. Young comics were suddenly given the full park to charge around in. They could think, act and perform in every way or shape possible. Since making social comment a joke had been something only left to the domestic absurdities through situation comedy in 'Father, Dear Father,' or 'Bless This House,' now, all at once, the man in the street or the blind woman crossing the road was open to ventfuls of ridicule. Young talents could create comedy out of every day life, far from the comforting surroundings of behind the front door.
