Newman and Baddiel in Pieces

Newman and Baddiel in Pieces is a sketch comedy television show written by and starring comedians Robert Newman and David Baddiel, produced by Harry Thompson, and broadcast on BBC Two in 1993. A Spin-off from The Mary Whitehouse Experience, the show combined monologues and observational routines from each of the two comedians and character comedy. Its title sequence was an animated version of Munch's painting The Scream, with Newman and Baddiel revealed as the artist's friends in the background, standing near a waterfront theatre in which they were appearing. Audience applause between sketches was frequently accompanied by an animated theatre full of applauding The Scream characters.
