Assaulted Nuts

Assaulted Nuts was a television sketch comedy series broadcast in the US in 1984 and the UK in 1985. The show was constructed as a fast-paced succession of short, unconnected sketches. It was a co-production between Cinemax in the US and Channel 4 in the UK. It ran for seven episodes in the UK and thirteen in the US and elsewhere. American performers Elaine Hausman, William Sadler and Wayne Knight acted alongside British comic actors Cleo Rocos, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Daniel Peacock and Barry Cryer. New York actress Marcell Rosenblatt also appeared in episode 7, which may have been shot as the pilot. In the second season (episodes 8-13), Emma Thompson and Gail Matthius replaced Tim Brooke-Taylor and Elaine Hausman. In keeping with Cinemax's reputation at the time, much of the material was sex-related, with overt references to Benny Hill, and Cleo Rocos' work with Kenny Everett.
