But it's not all Rachel's pregnancy story. Standalone highlights include "The One with the Rumour" in which the "We Hate Rachel" club started in High School by Ross and a certain Mr Jennifer Aniston (an uncredited Brad Pitt) is revealed; while "The One with Monica's Boots" has Monica and Chandler arguing over finances while Phoebe and Ross argue over the attentions of Sting's wife Trudie Styler (cameoing as herself). Relationship complications fall upon Phoebe as "The One with the Tea Leaves" hooks her up with a stellar cameo from Alec Baldwin. "The One with Joey's Interview" has Matt LeBlanc on top form preparing to be interviewed by Soap Opera Digest. But time starts to tick faster for everyone in "The One Where Rachel is Late", as Joey's WWI movie finally arrives, but is overshadowed by the wait for Rachel's overdue arrival.

Crackerjack was a much loved British children's comedy variety show which aired on the BBC from 1955 through to 1984. A highlight of these shows were the silent comedy style sections starring Don Maclean and comedy genius Peter Glaze. Written and directed by Alan JW Bell (who is also known for directing the successful TV series Last of the Summer Wine) each week the lead actors played different parts for example: fisherman road sweepers barbers builders farmers window cleaners bellboys removals etc each scenario and situation ending up in hapless slapstick hilarity. Crackerjack may also have been the originator of the popular English phrase Don't get your knickers in a twist. In the Don and Pete sketches Peter Glaze who usually played a pompous or upper-class character would always get exasperated with his comedy partner Don Maclean's wisecracks or apparent stupidity. Maclean would then give an alliterative reply such as Don't get your knickers in a knot or Don't get your tights in a twist the combination of which has passed into popular culture. Peter Glaze often uttered Doh! to Don's wisecracks. Those Crackerjack Silents - Don and Pete' brings 12 of these classic silent short films to DVD for the very first time. Special Features: Bonus Extras include an interview with Don Maclean entitled Don Maclean Remembers
