Even More Great Comedy Moments

Yes folks, the BBC are releasing another of their abysmal, pointless compilation DVDs. This is the third in the Great Comedy Moments series, and is called Even More Great Comedy Moments. So, not at all contrived. Anyway, the important bit is that like the last one (reviewed half way down this page, Red Dwarf will feature. No idea what clip it will be, but both Craig and Chris are listed on Play's entry. Although, the absence of the other actors doesn't necessarily mean they won't be on it, so that's not very useful.

The DVD is out on the 29th March. The lowest price I've seen is £11.99, but you've already got the Dwarf clip on video anyway, so I wouldn't bother. This sort of release really annoys me. There's clips from Shooting Stars on the disc, for example, but I want to be able to buy Shooting Stars: The Complete Series. Cuss. Oh, don't make the same mistake I did at first, and think that the cover of this DVD features Chris Barrie in Rimmerworld. It's Nick Lyndhurst dressed as a gladiator, for a cheap laugh in a once-great sit-com. But the good news is, there's Ricky Gervais doing TEH DNACE from TEH OFCIFE.

TEH DNACE from TEH OFCIFE! Excellent.

the dance was overdone by the media

as for the series, I like it

It made me laugh when I first saw it. I detest the media coverage of it, though.

Agreed there Capps, the media are like that.

They said the first christmas special was superb. I'm a big office fan but i don't know many other office fans who actually thought it was as good as the papers made out.

The 2nd special ruled though

As a matter of interest, what KYTV clip is on the 'More' volume?

The Going For Gold parody. Can't remember the proper name, or what episode it's from, but it's very good.

And which camera angle of Del falling through the bar does it use?

Oooo I remember Going For Gold (God, I'm old)

It only finished in the late-90s, didn't it?

Posted by Ian Symes at February 25, 2004 10:59 PM

Yep, 1996. But at the end it had stopped being Pan-European and became just, well, pan-British with people representing their counties.

The format was bought back as One to Win on Channel 5.

Questions Pour un Champion, the French version, is ABSOLUTELY HUGE in France.

Will that do?

Gayness and gameshows' Brig Bother, there.

Just to double-check, is it the bit where 'Maria' wins after Mike Flex realises her father's in the Mafia?

These things matter, dammit!

Posted by Darrell Jones at February 25, 2004 11:42 PM

Yes, that's the one. Angus Deayton plays a German.

"Who won the World Cup in 1966?"
"ENGLAND."
