Chris Morris is brilliant. Loved The Day Today, Brass Eye and Jam.

The late David Amess appeared in Brass Eye, Cake episode.

My fave episode is about the dead swan and a side story concerning a pair of trainers. The last scene is pure magic... 😂

Yeah. That was gas. I'm in knots looking at it.

Only messing. It's not funny at all

I own that Love Thy Neighbour box (it also contains the feature film) and hundreds more sets released by that label - www.networkonair.com
They have made serious inroads on releasing DVDs from the ITV archives over the last 20 years. Some very obscure titles among them that could only have sold a few hundred copies.
They have also have tackled a few BBC titles.

It's quite puerile and silly but I do enjoy Bottom. A few clips have popped up on Youtube. Takes me back. As daft as it is, the chemistry between Rik and Ade is phenomenal.
