Mr Jolly Lives Next Door

Mr Jolly Lives Next Door is a 1987 Comedy film made for British television as part of the Comic Strip Presents series.

It features Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmonson as Richie and Eddie, the alcohol-obsessed proprietors of a run-down escort agency located next to the premises of a psychotic contract killer, the eponymous Mr Jolly, played by the veteran British comedian Peter Cook.

Due to an unfortunate postal error, Richie and Eddie receive a request intended for Mr Jolly to "take out" the radio presenter and game show host Nicholas Parsons, who appears as himself.

Mr Jolly Lives Next Door was released on VHS in the late '80s, and became available on DVD when the entire Comic Strip Presents series was released as a box set in the UK in June 2005.
