![]() | Catterick - Series 1 [DVD] [2004]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £4.74 I'll do Vic and Bob in reverse order, and what better place to start than with the fantastic and often overlooked Catterick, perhaps their finest work in a career filled with masterpieces.
|
![]() | Reeves And Mortimer - Bang Bang - It's Reeves And Mortimer [DVD] [1999]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.16 Lives in the shadow of the much more successful Smell Of, but just as funny if not more so. Combines the controlled insanity of earlier work with the odd celebrity being made to squirm and "The Club".
|
![]() | Smell Of Reeves And Mortimer - Complete Collection [DVD]
Buy used from: £5.70 Great price for a great series, seeing Bob Mortimer share billing with Reeves for the first time. Doesn't let up once over two series. Indian Lovejoy is a favourite at home.
|
![]() | The Original Vic Reeves Big Night Out [DVD] [1990]
Buy new: £6.97 / Used from: £5.90 The original and worst, though still better than any other comedy guff. Perhaps a little too reliant on catchphrases and the student atmosphere, but still ace.
|
![]() | Garth Marenghi's Darkplace [DVD] [2004]
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £4.98 Lets head back into modern times with one of the best one-offs of the last decade, the fabulous Darkplace. Perfectly faked 80s horror-drama, a cast to die for and great extras. Must have.
|
![]() | The IT Crowd: Series 1-3 Box Set [DVD]
Buy new: £15.88 / Used from: £17.90 For fans of Darkplace. May seem a little forced and obvious at first, but really comes into its own in the second year. Could watch it all day, literally.
|
![]() | Black Books Complete Box Set [DVD] by Black Books
Buy new: £9.38 / Used from: £7.40 Another short lived gem, could do with a few new shows. Aside from a slightly weaker second series (during which Bernard is often TOO mean) this is absolute perfection, still.
|
![]() | The Mighty Boosh [DVD]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £1.98 When I'm not off criticising later series I can be found enjoying this first sublime effort, full of great plots and actual writing, as opposed to disjointed nonsense the show became known for.
|
![]() | Look Around You : Complete BBC Series 2 [DVD]
Buy new: £6.97 / Used from: £4.98 A lot better than its first series. Very, very observant, and like Darkplace, feels just like its from when it says it is. Often painfully funny. Plus, Josie D'Arby, of all people!!
|
![]() | Peep Show - Series 1-5 - Complete [DVD] [2003]
Buy new: £34.98 / Used from: £17.00 Simply put, at £15 for five series you've no excuse to not own this. I myself have bought three so as not to be a hypocrite.
|
![]() | Al Murray - Time Gentlemen Please - Complete Series [DVD] [2000]
Buy new: £13.58 / Used from: £14.95 Surprisingly consistent and madcap sitcom, sillier than his standup and like hanging out with great mates. 37 episodes for less than £20. NO EXCUSE!!
|
![]() | Saxondale - Complete Series 2 [DVD] [2007]
Buy new: £7.48 As brilliantly realised as Partridge and often as funny, this second series broadens the comedy a little but succeeds all the more for it. More please.
|
![]() | Spaced - Definitive Collectors' Edition [DVD]
Buy new: £9.18 / Used from: £9.99 Loved it as a 12 year old, love it now. Nothing like having a show that says to you "hey nerd, look at this, this joke's for you" while being side splittingly funny at the same time.
|
![]() | The Young Ones : Complete BBC Series 1 & 2 [1982] [DVD]
Buy new: £11.88 / Used from: £10.59 Alllllll the way back. Oddly, as a child I loved this. Still do, can't beat a bit of insane adventuring. Still, wouldn't let MY kids watch it.
|
![]() | Blackadder - The Complete Collection [DVD]
Buy new: £17.98 / Used from: £22.25 1's odd, 2's great, but 3 and 4 are perfect. Hugh Laurie's Prince Regent is the maybe the funniest performance ever. Great supporting cast around the excellent Rowan Atkinson and some great ideas.
|
![]() | The Complete Fawlty Towers [1975] [DVD]
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £11.47 I remember the first time I saw the talking moose head ("I can speak english. I learn it from a boook") I must have woken the whole house up with laughing. Perfectly acted, scultped and scripted.
|
![]() | Father Ted - The Definitive Collection [1995] [DVD]
Buy new: £22.48 Never gets old. How is that? Anyone who says only Irish people 'get' Ted is a posturing ar$e, by the way. That means you, media studies girl.
|
![]() | The Fast Show : Ultimate Collection (7 Disc BBC Box Set) [DVD]
Buy new: £13.88 I've been trundling through this at the minute. My love for Charlie Higson is only matched by my hatred of Arabella Weir, NONE of her sketches are funny in the slightest. Great value.
|
![]() | The Office - Complete Series One & Two and The Christmas Specials [2001] [DVD]
Buy new: £9.88 / Used from: £9.49 Has since been eclipsed by its superior American offspring, but this cynical, nasty father version is still hysterical, touching and surprising.
|
![]() | The Day Today : Complete BBC Series (2 Disc Set) [1994] [DVD]
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £5.50 Fantastic stuff, miles better than the inferior Brass Eye, with a great supporting cast and infinite quotablility. "Russia elects cobweb" anyone?
|
![]() | Nathan Barley [DVD]
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £6.00 Brooker and Morris is a match made in heaven. One of those characters that really never gives you an excuse to like him. Julian Barratt's put upon Dan Ashcroft is superb annoyed sufferant.
|
![]() | Extras : Complete BBC Series 1 [2005] [DVD]
Buy new: £6.88 / Used from: £0.97 The show continued to be good, but not as great as these joyous first six episodes. Plus, it gave us Ashley Jensen. Unless you count that episoe of Rab C Nesbitt she was in. Which you don't.
|
![]() | Red Dwarf: Series 3 [DVD]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.80 No series has ever recieved a better set of extras. I can't fit all 8 in so I'll go with the first one I bought. Genuinely good sci fi with fantastic comedy made this show a must watch.
|
![]() | Only Fools and Horses - The Complete Series 3 [1983] [DVD] [1981]
Buy new: £5.58 / Used from: £2.99 I stopped buying the biweekly mag of Fools as it was too expensive, but I recall enjoying this series the most. Last to feature those hilarious shots of Lennard Pearce just looking lost and alone!
|
![]() | The Alan Partridge Complete Box Set [DVD] [1994]
Buy new: £17.98 Best for last. Always will be. A month won't go by where I won't revel in these three series' glory. Best boxset ever made.
