The Secret Policeman’s Third Ball
Released: January 1, 1987 (1987)
Runtime: 82 minutes
Genres: Comedy, Music
When the British Amnesty shows finally resumed in 1987 after a six-year hiatus, the show format was retooled in an effort to take advantage of the growing number of rock musicians supporting Amnesty. Instead of the live show being primarily a comedy show with a few musical cameos, the event made a point of giving equal emphasis to the comedy and the music.
