I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue: Willie Rushton Anniversary
To mark the 10th anniversary of the death of the late, great and much missed Willie Rushton, we have a week of specially chosen episodes of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, featuring Willie at his rib tickling best. On Monday we begin with a special compilation programme of some of Willie's finest moments introduced by producer Jon Naismith. Throughout the week chairman Humphrey Lyttelton and fellow panelists Tim Brooke Taylor, Barry Cryer and Graeme Garden introduce a selection of favourite programmes. This is a Clue treat not to be missed.

| update about most recent Australian DVDs |
more from same (The Goodies) |
Earlier this month Roadshow Entertainment released two repackaged Goodies DVDS. According to a sticker on the covers, each is specially priced under $15 through December 31, 2006.
* "The Goodies - 4 Delicious Episodes" contains the first disk from the previously released "The Goodies - 8 Delicious Episodes". Contents include the digitally restored episodes "Tower of London", "Gender Education", "Kitten Kong", and "The Goodies and the Beanstalk" as well as commentaries on two episodes (Kitten Kong & Beanstalk), storyboards, a laughter-free track on "Goodies and the Beanstalk", and a digital restoration featurette.
* "The Goodies – A Second Helping: 4 Tasty Serves" contains the first disk from the previously released "The Goodies – A Tasty Second Helping". Contents include the digitally restored episodes "Radio Goodies", "Come Dancing" (black & white version), "The Movies", and "South Africa" as well as commentaries on two episodes (The Movies & South Africa) and the Goodies Christmas Night with the Stars 1972 clip (aka "The Goodies Traveling Instant Five-Minute Christmas").
Please note that the covers of "A Second Helping: 4 Tasty Serves" and "A Tasty Second Helping" are especially similar (as are the titles) - check carefully to make sure you are purchasing the DVDs you want. In case it is helpful I've put a side-by-side comparison of the DVDs mentioned above in the Goodies Illustrated Guide at http://mysite.verizon.net/vze7yes3/illustratedguides/videos_dvds.html
