The Idiot Weekly, Price 2d was a 1956 British television series produced and directed by Richard Lester.

[1] Although written mainly by Spike Milligan, there were many contributions from members of Associated London Scripts, the writers' co-operative, including Dave Freeman, John Junkin and Terry Nation.

It was the first real attempt to translate the humour of The Goon Show to television.

It combined elements of a sitcom and sketch comedy with Peter Sellers as the editor of a fictional tatty Victorian newspaper, The Idiot Weekly.

[3] The title was revived by Milligan for his 1958 Australian radio series The Idiot Weekly.
