Amnesty decided not to present a benefit show in 1978 in order to consider how to make better use of the performing talent so favourably disposed to assist it in raising funds. Peter Luff left Amnesty in 1978 and the organisation's new fund-raising officer, Peter Walker, was deputed to work with Lewis on reconfiguring the show to raise more money and greater awareness of Amnesty. Lewis proposed to Cleese that in addition to the comedy performances the show should feature some contemporary rock musicians.

Overview:

The 1984 season was a gripping story dominated by the McLaren TAG Porsche MP4/2 and the battle to the end between team mates Niki Lauda and Alain Prost. From the heat and uncertainties of Brazil to the cliff-hanging finale in Portugal some 16 races later, the season was a winner in terms of drama, interest and excitement. 1984 was also the year the racing world witnessed a new name soon to be on everyone’s lips: Ayrton Senna. For Lauda, the eventual winner, the title was a particularly sweet one as it came seven years after his previous title in ‘77. Prost’s achievements were just as impressive, winning a record seven races to finish within a point of Lauda at the end. New fuel rules gave all teams plenty to think about and in Germany the Nürburgring’s rebirth gave drivers a new challenge to consider. The story of the season is brilliantly narrated by Clive James.
