4.  Harry Hill - The Golden Box Set [DVD] DVD ~ Harry Hill

5.  Creature Comforts - Complete Series 1 [DVD] DVD ~ Julie Sedgewick

11.  Spaced - Definitive Collectors' Edition [DVD] DVD ~ Jessica Stevenson

Star Stories 1-3 [DVD]
13.  Star Stories 1-3 [DVD] DVD ~ Tom Basden
The list author says:
  "Unashamedly low-budget, low-brow barbed biographies turning celebs tacky tabloid image into unsympathetic OTT impersonations but most are ripe for ritual humiliation. A guilty pleasure."
£17.99   Used & New from: £13.37

The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin: Complete Box Set [DVD] [1976]
14.  The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin: Complete Box Set [DVD] [1976] DVD ~ Leonard Rossiter
The list author says:
  "Wonderfully droll middle-England sitcom which gave Leonard Rossiter his second greatest TV role (after Rigsby) and captured the inescapable futility of modern life. Series 3 and 4 are dispensable."
£14.47   Used & New from: £12.99

15.  The Day Today : Complete BBC Series (2 Disc Set) [1994] [DVD] DVD ~ Steve Coogan
The list author says:
  "Armando Iannucci's hilarious Newsnight satire provided a platform for Alan Partridge and Chris Morris. Sublimely ridiculous and not as cruel as Brass Eye. "FACT x IMPORTANCE = NEWS!""
£6.89   Used & New from: £3.98

Brass Eye [DVD] [1997]
16.  Brass Eye [DVD] [1997] 
The list author says:
  "Chris Morris' controversial satire was a wickedly acerbic, misunderstood assault on the sensationalist, reactionary media and knee-jerk news reporting, not the subjects it was covering."

The Young Ones: Series 1 & 2 [DVD]
18.  The Young Ones: Series 1 & 2 [DVD] DVD ~ Rik Mayall
The list author says:
  "The best legacy from the 1980s 'alternative' oeuvre is this anarchic sitcom ridiculing student culture. Not as outrageous as it once was but still funny. The University Challenge spoof is a classic."
£7.99   Used & New from: £6.72

Red Dwarf: Series 1-8 [DVD] [1998]
21.  Red Dwarf: Series 1-8 [DVD] [1998] DVD ~ Chris Barrie
The list author says:
  "Entertaining (occassionally side-splitting) sci-fi sitcom. But it exhausted the best material to parody by the time co-creator Rob Grant left the show, so the last few series are hit-and-miss."
£22.47   Used & New from: £19.99

Absolutely - Absolutely Everything [DVD]
23.  Absolutely - Absolutely Everything [DVD] DVD ~ Peter Baikie
The list author says:
  "Python-influenced absurdist sketch comedy from the 'Reeves & Mortimer' and 'Mary Whitehouse Experience' generation. Hit-and-miss and dated, but some of the hits are inspired."

Up Pompeii : The Complete BBC Collection
24.  Up Pompeii : The Complete BBC Collection 
The list author says:
  "Frankie Howerd's 'ad-libbed' derision of the script's bawdy innuendo and terrible puns is the main appeal of this Carry On-type Roman farce. It doesn't show on screen that he never like doing it."
Used & New from: £21.88
