    That is strange, doesn't inspire confidence if they're not listing the films... Like those DVDs you find in cheapie shops where the star's face and name is all over it, but it's a movie he was in for 10 minutes, years before he made it to fame

    However, if the movies are good, it's a bargain, but terrible marketing on their part.

    I'd guess at a few:

    The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer
    Futtock's End
    Sir Henry at Rawlinson End

    If my guessing is right, it's a fairly excellent selection of maverick British humorists.

    Heat for the heccentricity.

    I reckon it could also be those three....

    The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer(Peter Cook,John Cleese.Arthur Lowe,Howard Pinter)
    Futtock's End(Ronnie Barker,Richard O'Sullivan)
    Sir Henry At Rawlinson End(Trevor Howard)

    Those three have been released separately on DVD by a company called Digital Classics who also brought out this DVD set of British Comedy Greats films which i bought from the Works last year for £4.99....

    By the way,that Classic British Comedy Films set is also included in the Works 2 for £8 offer.....

    I don't think so "little ern" If you look up the IMDB profile of the unknown (to me) actress Valerie Leon featured in The Works advert you will see it contains none of the films mentioned.
