Catterick [DVD] [2004]
1.  Catterick [DVD] [2004] DVD ~ Morwenna Banks
The list author says:
  "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."
£4.97   Used & New from: £2.89

Bang Bang It's Reeves & Mortimer [DVD]
2.  Bang Bang It's Reeves & Mortimer [DVD] DVD ~ Vic Reeves
The list author says:
  "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"."
£3.95   Used & New from: £1.76
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (14 customer reviews)

The Smell of Reeves & Mortimer - The Complete Collection [DVD]
3.  The Smell of Reeves & Mortimer - The Complete Collection [DVD] DVD ~ Vic Reeves
The list author says:
  "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."
£4.97   Used & New from: £3.70

The Original Vic Reeves Big Night Out [DVD] [1990]
4.  The Original Vic Reeves Big Night Out [DVD] [1990] DVD ~ Vic Reeves
The list author says:
  "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."
£5.97   Used & New from: £0.69
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace [DVD] [2004]
5.  Garth Marenghi's Darkplace [DVD] [2004] DVD ~ Matt Holness
The list author says:
  "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."
£6.97   Used & New from: £3.37
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (145 customer reviews)

The IT Crowd: Series 1-3 Box Set [DVD]
6.  The IT Crowd: Series 1-3 Box Set [DVD] DVD ~ Chris O'Dowd
The list author says:
  "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."
£17.47   Used & New from: £7.80

Black Books - The Complete Box Set [DVD]
7.  Black Books - The Complete Box Set [DVD] DVD ~ Dylan Moran
The list author says:
  "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."
£18.49   Used & New from: £4.58

The Mighty Boosh [DVD]
8.  The Mighty Boosh [DVD] DVD ~ Noel Fielding
The list author says:
  "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."
£3.96   Used & New from: £0.26

Look Around You : Complete BBC Series 2 [DVD]
9.  Look Around You : Complete BBC Series 2 [DVD] DVD ~ Robert Popper
The list author says:
  "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!!"
£5.00   Used & New from: £3.73

10.  Peep Show - Series 1 - 5 [DVD] DVD ~ Peep Show
The list author says:

Al Murray - Time Gentlemen Please [DVD]
11.  Al Murray - Time Gentlemen Please [DVD] DVD ~ Al Murray
The list author says:
  "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]
12.  Saxondale - Complete Series 2 [DVD] DVD ~ Steve Coogan
The list author says:
  "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]
13.  Spaced - Definitive Collectors' Edition [DVD] DVD ~ Jessica Stevenson
The list author says:
  "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."

14.  The Young Ones: Series 1 & 2 [DVD] DVD ~ Rik Mayall
The list author says:
  "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]
15.  Blackadder - The Complete Collection [DVD] DVD ~ Rowan Atkinson
The list author says:
  "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."

18.  The Fast Show : Ultimate Collection (7 Disc BBC Box Set) [DVD] DVD ~ The Fast Show
The list author says:
  "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."

21.  Nathan Barley [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "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."

22.  Extras : Complete BBC Series 1 [2005] [DVD] DVD ~ Ricky Gervais
The list author says:
  "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."
