Additional comments The Secret Policeman's Balls is the collective name informally used to describe the long-running series of benefit shows staged in England to raise funds for the human rights organisation Amnesty International. The shows started out in the mid-1970s primarily as comedy galas featuring popular British comedic performers and later expanded to include leading musical performers. Mark Knopfler appeared in this 1987 edition playing two songs with Chet Atkins, only one of these two songs is inlcuded on this DVD. Picture disc.
