The next release appeared the following month. Featuring 43 extracts from a variety of comedy programmes, the release featured three Hancock sequences, all from the previous 'Very Best of' DVD. The sequences were as follows: 1) 'A Pint' This is a 2 minute extract from The Blood Donor where Hancock wants his tea and Biscuits after giving his drop of blood. 2) 'Bedsits and Bertrand'. This is a 2 minute extract from the Bedsitter and features the sequence where Hancock is struggling to remember the characters from his fiction novel he is reading and then decides to read Bertrand Russell but keeps referring to his dictionary. The sequence ends with Hancock picking up 'Lady Don't Fall Backwards' and referring to the Dictionary again! 3) 'A Ham On The Radio'. This 3 minute sequence is not from the Radio Ham but from The Bowmans and features the delightful Joshua acting out his death scene. This superb DVD release served as an introduction to many archive BBC programmes some of which have never been commercially released elsewhere (for example 'Its Marty'). However, the four page booklet that accompanied the release includes an advert for a number of DVDs that were available including The League of Gentlemen, Absolutely Fabulous and One Foot In The Grave, all modern comedy shows. There were no adverts for any classic comedy.
