nostalgia: UK comedians

Went to Petaling St tonight looking old DVD of my favourite comedians while I was doing time in UK a few years back, some favourites of mine include Jo Brand who used to be a psychatric nurse(you can see her live here), Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie (yup from Dr House) from A Bit of Fry and Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster (and don't forget Hugh's role in Blackadder with Rowan Atkinson (a.k.a. Mr Bean)), Rik Mayall especially in his role as Alan Beresford B'stard a selfish, dishonest, devious, lecherous, sadistic Conservative the from the show The New Statesman, Ben Elton and Ade Edmonson from The Young Ones. What about Monty Phyton and the Flying Circus, especialy John Cleese and Michael Palin. Was also searching for Julian Clary...mmm, or failing that maybe I could search for Whose Line Is It Anyway - UK version hosted by Clive Anderson with Tony Slattery, Paul Merton. as I think the joke is even cruder than the American version. with Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, Wayne Grady etc

I put the link from You Tube on the comedian stated above so you can have a feel of their talent.

Urfortunately can't find any of them there, so I end up with box-sets of Alo-alo and Benny Hill... and oh.. ROOTS... you remember Kunta-kinte?
