Sorry, for the late reply JJJ!

Harry Hill Show "What are the chances of that happening?"
A distant relation of Benny Hill? Ahhh being 13 and watching half naked women.
Two links for Harry Hill. The first (
http://www.harry-hill.tv/ ) will tell you absolutely nothing about him, and perhaps make you fear for his sanity. The second (
http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Harry%20Hill ) is more informative.
As people may have noticed, my humour tends to favour the more surreal, and Hill was a genius of surrealism. Stouffer the Cat is the funniest creation ever! I'll never forget Harry and a giant Stouffer dancing together in the Christmas special!

Careful, as childhood dreams can quickly turn to dust. I got the UK Complete Battle of the Planets set (over 35 hours on 12 discs!) All 85 episodes. I fell asleep after two and a half.
More shows I would like to see:
A Very Peculiar Practice Series 2.
Please let this come out soon. The Series 1 DVD was excellent as an appitiser, but Series 2 is by far the superior story. A black comedy drama.
Sean's Show
Sort of like Gary Shandlings Show. A sit-com which knew it was a sit-com and interacted with the audience.
Round The Twist
Yes, its out in Australia (but most discs seem to be OOP now). I would love a proper UK release. The first two seasons at least were perfect children's TV.
The Mark Thomas Comedy Product
More social commentary then comedy, but well worth rewatching. Sometimes funny, sometimes shocking.
Les Lives
These would be ideal as supplements on the
Vic Reeves Big Night Out DVD set, that is rumoured to be coming in 2005!
Posh Nosh
Perhaps not really long enough for a DVD (but 9 x 10 is the average length of a movie). Hopefully if this was released, there would be lots of extras.
This Morning With Richard Not Judy
I would also like
Fist of Fun from the same duo. More surreal humour. I believe even though this was made recently, the live recording no longer exist - only the 30 minute edited shows shown the following week
.
