In the US, do you get the TV show Director's Commentary? I watched it for the first time yesterday (it's on too late!) and it is hilarious!

The show is basically half episodes of classic tv shows (Bonanza etc) are played (2 in each episode) and a fictitious director does a commentary over them. It's kind of like Mystery Science Theatre, except you don't see silhouettes in front of the screen.

It's a great show- the director doing the commentary is great, he's meant to be a typical British sort, with an accent and all, but he's constantly talking about his 6 wives and his Nazi father and cracking jokes throughout. He just goes off and starts singing and stuff too.

It's out on dvd in the UK on march 22nd.

I love this. Rob Brydon (Brit comedy actor) is the brains and voice behind the show.

It's suffered a bit in the ratings here as it has been going head-to-head with Frasier.

How many episodes are on the DVD?
Is it the complete series?

Seriously thinking about picking this up.
