Following a one-off Christmas special in 1986, 'Hale and Pace' became household names with this phenomenally successful series for LWT.

A rapidly paced, occasionally notorious mix of stand-up and sketches that stayed just the right side of Broadcasting Standards, the series won the Silver Rose at Montreux and made the two former PE teachers one of the most mimicked comedy acts in television history. This complete second series sees Gareth and Norman visiting a centre for Guide Cats, lifting the lid on Moroccan cuisine, displaying their beer guts and finding out whether the American doughnut-and-hamburger diet really works. We also catch up with the Two Rons - the legendary tuxedoed heavies later to enjoy fame on their own terms as The Management - and kids' TV presenters Billy and Johnny, who find themselves at an Acid House party...

Following a one-off Christmas special in 1986, Gareth Hale and Norman Pace's first foray into the sketch series format was instantly successful - and instantly controversial.

Staying just the right side of Broadcasting Standards, the two former teachers enjoyed massive ratings over a decade of quick-fire, occasionally notorious comedy sketches, winning the Silver Rose at Montreux and becoming one of the most mimicked comedy acts in television history. Complete and uncut, this set contains the entire first series alongside the Channel 4 1986 Christmas Special. With legendary bodyguards The Two Rons featuring throughout, each show contains a relentless mix of hilariously barbed sketches and musical numbers, as well as a few appearances from cult favourites Billy and Johnny, the useless children's TV presenters. Regarded as one of the best sketch shows of the last thirty years, this series guest stars Ainsley Harriott, Status Quo, Harry Enfield, Courtney Pine, Rick Wakeman, Helen Atkinson-Wood and Doon MacKichan.

Relive the second season of the Primetime Emmy Award-winning comedy '30 Rock', the show that the guy who writes stuff on video boxes calls "my current assignment" and the Gillian Flynn of Entertainment Weekly has named "simply the best TV".

Created by Golden Globe and SAG Award winner Tina Fey, '30 Rock' features Fey (as TV writer Liz Lemon), Golden Globe and SAG Award winner Alec Baldwin (as corporate executive Jack Donaghy), Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski (as Lemon's unpredictable stars, Tracy Jordan and Jenna Maroney) and Jack McBrayer (as the naive NBC page Kenneth Parcell). Co-workers and friends, they are all trying to balance work and life, with the inevitable result of failed relationships, disastrous parties, at-work drunkenness, hard-core coffee addiction, world-class sandwich eating and occasional attempts to chop down Christmas trees.
