  Volume One of Not the Nine O'Clock News comprises 98 minutes of early material from the sketch show that ran between 1979 and 1982. Starring Rowan Atkinson, Griff Rhys-Jones, Mel Smith and Pamela Stephenson and coscripted by Richard (Blackadder) Curtis among others, it wasn't especially ground-breaking by the standards of Monty Python or contemporary series such as The Young Ones, but it did provide some pretty blunt belly-laughs at the major social and political concerns of the era: Thatcher, Reagan, police brutality, the prospect of nuclear war. The latter makes for an excellent Question Time spoof, in which, with the four-minute warning having sounded, a panel of politicians continue bleating on their own agenda ("Three million people are going to die unemployed!"). Atkinson's stuff is among the best here, be it as a hideous young Tory, or as Gerald the Gorilla, now civilised to a fault by the captor who caught him in the wild. ("Wild? I was livid!") The much-repeated bit of him walking into a tree, however, doesn't work as he clearly anticipates the collision. While the musical elements look inevitably dated and a lengthy sketch on darts players boozing reaches the "Yeah, we get the point" mark long before it reaches its end, it's surprising how topical much of this material remains decades on--a sketch involving an agonising gay vicar springs to mind--while time hasn't eroded the quality of much of the writing. On the DVD: Not the Nine O'Clock News on disc comes with no extra features. --David Stubbs

• Wind In The Willows With Griff Rhys Jones | DVD | (28/10/2013) from £5.85   |  Saving you £10.14 (173.33%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Griff Rhys Jones goes in search of the real story behind the famous tale: The Wind in the Willows. In the spring of 1907 Kenneth Grahame sent his seven-year old son Alastair (nicknamed 'Mouse') the first of a series of letters telling the story of a group of animals and their various adventures along the river in the woods and on the road. These letters centring on the swaggering Mr Toad formed the first whisperings of what would become one of the best-loved children's stories of all time: The Wind in the Willows. On the 80th anniversary of the death of Kenneth Grahame Griff Rhys-Jones sets off to investigate a curious story. He wants to know why this children's tale has so gripped the public imagination. In doing so he examines a golden era of children's literature and finds it wrapped up in a tragic and moving biographical story. Central to the success of the great classic is the character of 'Toadie'. It is a strangely cruel portrait but Mr Toad in the character of a bumptious overbearing childlike braggart has become a fixed part of the British public imagination. Griff Rhys-Jones sets out to find out why.
