The Brass Eye series was first shown in 1997, but when it was repeated last year
a few changes were made such as in the last episode, "Decline", which added a
sketch about "Peter Sutcliffe: The Musical", but removed the reference to
former Channel 4 boss Michael Grade when, for 1/25th of a second, Morris added
in the phrase "Grade is a cunt" to a scene where he physically shoots
a sick Britain.

Kate Thornton shows as much as she knows.
All of the main series was shot in 4:3 fullscreen, which is how it's presented
here, with the 2001 Special shown in 16:9 anamorphic widescreen as that was
filmed. The picture is as flawless as it would've appeared on digital TV if
it hadn't been for the usual artifacts, so you can rest assured that this DVD
looks as perfect as it's going to.
The sound is striking when required, particularly in the credits sequences
and whenever Chris Morris wants to make a point, while dialogue is clear at all
times.
The extras begin with a couple of short deleted scenes from the series, but
there must have been more outtakes than this. David Jatt interviews Peregrine
Worsthorne talking about breeding small baby hippos to clean under the sink
and an extended scene about Carla the elephant which includes an appeal from
the late crook Reggie Kray on behalf of the support group "Aaaaas". Both of
these scenes last around 90 seconds.
One trailer for the "Science" episode and two for the Special are included.
Like those on the DVD for
Spaced Series 2,
I love it when episode-specific trailers are kept for posterity and they often
include unseen footage, or even a different cut of what was shown, and can take
you back to when you saw them originally, including the 10-second Special
trailer which didn't even tell you the name of the programme!
The Sound Bin contains song from the Special with Eminem spoof "JLb-8", the
"Funny-Eyed Guy" song, plus from other episodes the Pulp spoof "Blouse" and
music from the "Drugs" episode about Cake. An audio commentary for this episode
is also included as Chris Morris appears to chair a discussion about it with
a bunch of drunks.
There are 8 chapters per episode, so 56 in all, but sadly no subtitles.
The menus are animated and contain sound, mostly in a remixed form of the
programme's Panaroma-spoof soundtrack.
