BBC comedy panel show Have I Got News For You has now been running for over 18 years, although it is probably fair to say that it was much better when Angus Deayton was the presenter.
The Very Best Of Have I Got News For You is a collection of the best moments from his time in the chair, and comes complete with an audio commentary and unseen footage as well as other bonus material.
If you fancy this DVD, click here to buy it for £6.99 from HMV.

Deayton was fired in October 2002 after revelations about his private life were revealed. This possibly wouldn’t have happened had panelists Ian Hislop and Paul Merton not ridiculed him mercilessly on what turned out to be his last show.
From then on guest presenters have been used, and so Have I Got News For You: The Best Of The Guest Presenters - Volume One contains some of their best moments. Also included are an extended version of the first episode to be hosted by Boris Johnson and some interviews.
Click here to buy this for the same price (£6.99) from the same retailer (HMV).

The Have I Got News For You: The Best Of The Guest Presenters - Volume Two DVD contains four compilations of the Autumn 2003, Spring 2004, Autumn 2004, and Spring 2005 series’ rather than complete episodes.
However, there is a bonus disc which has yet another extended episode featuring Boris Johnson, and "The A To Z Of HIGNFY" which is a guide to the making of the programme.
To get this for the slightly lower price of £6.89 from Blah DVD, click here.
