Go Faster Stripe presents a four disc set of Fist of Fun series 1.
It's got the TV series of course, but also a lot more.

There's commentaries on all the episodes from Rich and Stew. The pair of them were reunited in Rich's spare room one glorious Monday afternoon.
We've also got commentaries on some of the other episodes from Kevin Eldon and Ben Moor.
And - we've managed to find the 60 minute cash-in live show that Rich and Stew released on VHS video back in the day.

Oh, and an unbroadcast pilot episode and a short film of Rich and Stew reminiscing with a box of memorabilia from Rich's attic.
But that's not all. There's studio rushes from some of the episodes.
That's everything that was recorded on the night. So there's fluffed lines, warm up men, deleted sketches and more.
Most DVD makers would have edited this down - but we enjoyed watching them all the way though, so we thought you would too.
There's a length essay printed on the box which will guide you though them.

We have also included a mammoth set of files. There's scanned in scripts - some that were filmed - some that were not, an mp3 bootleg of a live show recorded in Treforest.
There's press releases, fan club information, images of props - and there's some word documents that Rich found on his computer.
It's quite extraordinary - if we do say so ourselves.
And of course there are hidden extras sprinkled around the discs.
As usual, the clues to their location are printed on the disc faces.

TV's Frankie Boyle has declared that no-one over 40 should do stand-up, as the old comedians lose their edge and their anger. Stewart Lee is 42 and Frankie's heartless Scottish words have made him wonder if it's worth carrying on.
Undaunted, the furiously baffled comedian tries to win round the legendarily harsh Glasgow audience with a crowd-pleasing Mcintyre-style routine about coffee shops, but is distracted by scores of imaginary pirates; he tries to talk about every day middle aged men's concerns, but is drawn into a forty minute rant against Top Gear and all it stands for; he attempts to find some common ground with happy childhood memories that he and the audience can share, but is instead consumed with loathing and despair as a result of a Magners' Cider advertising campaign.
He screams from the balconies, stumbles in the aisles, and ends with a country and western song. If You Prefer A Milder Comedian Please Ask For One is a vast and all-consuming epic of stand-up comedy, exploring the absolute formal limits of the art form.
There are also some jokes.

Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle marks the return of arguably one of Britain's finest stand up comedians and shows him at his masterful and hilarious best.
Each of the six episodes sees Stewart explore a different theme, in a stand-up routine illustrated with sketches featuring an ensemble cast of well known comic talent.

In each episode Stewart sets out to answer a question that addresses a specific aspect of modern life; "Why", for example, "is there a tide of banal books in bookshops threatening to engulf us? Does the world really need celebrity hardbacks?" Stewart's on a journey to find out - and meets some interesting authors along the way. "Has political correctness really gone mad, or is it just that a lot of people confuse political correctness with health and safety legislation?" Stewart tries to pick his way through the PC minefield, and reveals how it only made him put on weight. Stewart sets out to discover the truth about popular television duo Ant and Dec, and visits a quaint English village where The Funniest Thing That's Ever Been On Television Ever has given rise to a unique rural tradition. Sort of.
Whatever the topic, Stewart addresses it with razor sharp wit, using every argument at his disposal to convey his point. And you'l have learned something along the way (which may or may not be true)

Stewart Lee is once again on stage at the atmospheric Mildmay Club for the second series of his Bafta-nominated series. Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle Series 2 features six tautly written sets by the man who is officially Britain's twelfth best stand-up comedian (Channel 4's 100 Best Stand-Ups, April 2010).

Punctuating the performances, Armando Iannucci (The Thick Of It) destroys Stewart's self-esteem in a series of no holds barred interviews.

Guests include the septuagenarian stand-up Arnold Brown, the comic book guru Alan Moore (Watchmen, From Hell), and a giant Japanese moth.

Opening the series, Stewart looks at the subject of charity, but is distracted by crisps.
He has another go in a later episode, but is distracted by Adrian Chiles' similarity to a Toby jug.
In other episodes, the "comedians' comedian" chooses between town and country, denigrates national identity, explores the difference between the idealistic alternative comics of the Eighties and the petty minded practitioners of today, and appears to use personal experience to reveal David Cameron's cabal as champagne swilling bullies.

Unlike any other stand-up series on television today, Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle is staged and shot to capture the real intensity of live comedy, and transfers it to the television medium with an accuracy that is without precedent.

Time Trumpet is the satirical series that "looked back" on events of the first 30 years of the 21st century from the perspective of a nostalgia show in the year 2031.

Actors and actresses played the parts of 'today's stars' thirty years on, as they looked back into the past (our near future), in Iannucci's usual surreal yet sensible style.

Not strictly a DVD, this live video of the Lee and Herring double act captures us at our worst, recorded in a rush at the beginning of a tour and with inaudible audience response.

A badly advised venture immediately available in garage forecourt discount bins.
Our performance on the inanely titled Comic Relief live video Rude For A Reason is also shit, and now completely unavailable.

Watch it here or see if it's available to buy here.
