15. The Complete Oh, Doctor Beeching! - First and Second Series [DVD] [1995] DVD ~ Su Pollard

22. The Thin Blue Line: Complete BBC Series 1 & 2 [1995] [DVD] DVD ~ Rowan Atkinson

The list author says:
	"From the start of the catcy theme tune, you know you're in for a treat. Not Atkinson's finest mind you, which is perhaps why it only lasted for two series. Good writing from Ben Elton though!"

24. The Fast Show : Ultimate Collection (7 Disc BBC Box Set) [DVD] DVD ~ The Fast Show
