	'''''Do Not Adjust Your Set''''' ('''''DNAYS''''') is a British television series produced originally by [[Associated-Rediffusion\|Rediffusion, London]], then, by the fledgling [[Thames Television]] for British commercial television channel [[ITV (TV network)\|ITV]] from 26 December 1967 to 14 May 1969.

'''''Do Not Adjust Your Set''''' ('''''DNAYS''''') is a British television series produced originally by [[Associated-Rediffusion|Rediffusion, London]], then, by the fledgling [[Thames Television]] for British commercial television channel [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] from 26 December 1967 to 14 May 1969. The show took its name from the message (frequently seen on the TV screen in those days) which was displayed when there was a problem with transmission.

It helped launch the careers of [[Denise Coffey]], [[David Jason]], [[Eric Idle]], [[Terry Jones]] and [[Michael Palin]]; the last three became members of the [[Monty Python]] comedy troupe soon afterward. Although originally conceived as a children's programme, it quickly acquired a fandom amongst adults,<ref>{{cite book |last=Wilmut |first=Roger |title=From Fringe to Flying Circus: Celebrating a Unique Generation of Comedy 1960–1980 |publisher=Eyre Methuen |date=1980 |page=185}}</ref> including future Python members [[John Cleese]] and [[Graham Chapman]].

The [[Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band]], a [[Political satire|satirical]] comedy/art/pop group, also performed songs in each programme and frequently appeared as extras in sketches. The programme itself comprised a series of satirical sketches, often presented in a surreal, absurd and discontinuous style – anticipating ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'', which began five months after the last episode of ''DNAYS''. Strange animations between sketches were crafted for the final episodes by [[Terry Gilliam]], who soon graduated to ''Python'' with Palin, Jones and Idle – part of Gilliam's "Christmas cards" animation reappeared there in the "Joy to the World" segment.

One recurring feature of the show was ''[[Captain Fantastic (TV series)|Captain Fantastic]]'', a [[superhero]] parody featuring David Jason in [[farcical]] and morbid adventures against [[villainess]] Mrs. Black (Coffey). These segments were shot entirely on location in London. The feature was so popular with the young audience that after ''DNAYS'' itself ended, ''Captain Fantastic'' briefly continued in its own capacity.

In 1968, ''DNAYS'' won an international award, the Prix Jeunesse, in [[Munich]].
