| "The Best of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore (DVD)" |
| "The funniest man who ever drew breath. Stephen Fry on Peter Cook. ""Like many smallish men (Napoleon, Adolf Hitler to name but two) Dudley has a superficial charm and warmth that deceives many."" Peter Cook on Dudley Moore. In 1965 the BBC harnessed the talents of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore for a new show, Not Only But Also. Building scripts from improvised recordings (although ad-libs and corpsing remained irresistible features of the final recordings), the young partnership created their own style of comedy including the memorable Dagenham Dialogues of the cloth-capped Pete and Dud, and Peter Cook's magnificent old duffer Sir Arthur Greeb-Streebling. The series continued until 1970 and remains a seminal landmark in TV comedy. Many of Cook and Moore's best sketches are captured here, including 5-4-3-2-1 , the Superthunderstingraycars, the Leaping Nuns, The Glidd of Glood, Bo Dudley and the Goodbye-ee song.

| "The Best of Spike Milligan (DVD)" |
| "Arguably the greatest comedian to have emerged in post-war Britain, Spike Milligan came into television from the seminal radio comedy The Goons. Spike's TV output was to lose none of that show's anarchic, surreal and devastatingly funny humour, as his series Q (1968-1980) and There's A Lot Of It About (1982) broke every known television and comedy rule in sketch after sketch of nonsensical brilliance. This compilation captures the highlights of those series, including such classic sketches as The Eurovision Joke Contest, Spike as the singing Viking Maiden, insects auditioning for a David Attenborough series and much more assorted lunacy from the world of an indisputable comic genius. From the Back Cover Some remember him from The Goons, some through his army autobiographies or his poems, but it is his work on television that has stamped Spike Milligan's surreal, chaotic and devastatingly funny humour on the nation's imagination. This compilation features classic moments such as The Lost Forever in the Bermuda Triangle Holiday, the Eurovision Joke Contest, Michael Parkinson at the Soldierama Massage Parlour, Spike as the singing Viking Maiden and loads more assorted lunacy from the world of an indisputable comic genius.
