Best of British

Win bumper batch of BBC DVDs

Some of the most acclaimed British TV comedies are being repackaged into impressive boxed sets next week - and Chortle has copies to give away.

The complete collection of both Blackadder and Fawlty Towers are being released by the BBC, as well as a new Best Of Monty Python’s Flying Circus Series 1-3, plus their Live At Aspen performance.

The Blackadder set also features new material not previously released.

All four series are included in the  Complete Collection, alongside Christmas Carol, The Cavalier Years and Blackadder Back and Forth.

It represents 14 hours of viewing, and will be priced £59.99 when it is released on Monday.

The Fawlty Towers box set includes both series, as well as interviews with John Cleese, Prunella Scales and Andrew Sachs; commentaries by producer John Howard Davies and director Bob Spiers and other extras, including outtakes.

It too is out on Monday, priced £29.99 – as is the Python box sex.

This six-hour collection contains the best of the three BBC series, Live At Apsen as well as extras from the 1999 Monty Python night including It’s The Monty Python Story, Pythonland, and From Spam to Sperm.

We have one main prize of copies of all three DVD sets to give away – offering a mammoth 26 hours of comedy viewing, and worth almost £120.

And there are three runners-up prizes, one of each title.

To stand a chance of winning, just, answer the following questions by October 10, when the winners will be randomly chosen from all the correct answers received.

Good luck!
