Here begins the quest for new comedy DVDs Posted Tue Oct 31 23:47:10 GMT 2000 by 'Anonymous'

First of all - the Brass Eye DVD set, containing all episodes as uncut as possible, with additional material and special features (like the Spinal Tap DVD).

Any more?

If you do that you have to include a Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews commentry, and extracts from On The Hour to show the difference between the radio and tv shows.


Not a bad idea actually. Is anyone going to post these to Talk back?

I'm not sure she was actually christened with the bicapitalisation.

Still, nice name.

You'll also notice that everyone, from Peter Fincham to reception, have the same address, thus: [email protected]

Can't we just have the whole of On The Hour on the Day Today DVD(s)? In mp3 format or something? Obviously it won't happen, but it would be nice...
