This release was also available on DVD and featured 43 extracts from a variety of BBC comedy programmes. The release featured three Hancock sequences, all from the Very Best of Hancock (released on DVD in 2001) and the Comedy Greats video detailed above. The sequences were as follows: i) 'A Pint': this is a two minute extraxt from The Blood Donor, where Hancock wants his tea and biscuits after giving his drop of blood; ii) 'Bedsits and Bertrand': This is a two and a half minute extract from The Bedsitter and features the sequence where Hanock decides to read Bertrand Russell but keeps referring to his dictionary; iii) 'A Ham on the Radio': This three 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 had not been commercially released elsewhere.
