If all the TV programmes that are on just now can be justified as comedy then its about time ABSOLUTELY was back on the box, would just wipe the floor with them completely.

Yes! I do know what an absolutely box set is!
it's a box of records that your mummy and daddy want to put in the televisioned player because they have a worned out tape that makes the television look all wobbly when they play it. They wants it cos if they want to buy the proper tapes of absolutely they have to buy it off a lady amazon from the computer who won't take money because she will only swap it for an arm and a leg. That is what an absolutely box set is. it is - it's true!!!!!

Absolutely was one of the most creatively funny programmes there has ever been on TV. In the lineage of Spike Milligan and Monty Python (though better than Python in my opinion). It was always on at non-peak times and was not promoted in the way that so many lesser programmes have been (as a result of which I have never seen the earlier programmes). Needs to be repeated because I am sure that there is an audience who never caught on to the show when it was first broadcast. Needs to be on DVD as this is the type of comedy which can be viewed many times and actually become funnier over time (and repeats would create a new market for buying copies of the show). I am lucky enough to have the two Vidos but these are only part of the story and are now wearing out. I would buy a box set - and so would my brother.
We also need DVDs of the complete Mr Don and Mr George (also wearing out on video tape) and the Morwenna Banks Show.
So if you can sort all this out please I will go down to the station to get my note book while you make a cup of tea.

With out doubt this series was the best comedy of its time - surpassing Vic Reeves Big Night Out with ease.
Its originallity and sheer insanity make it the natural successor to Monty Python and Spike Milligan's "Q" series.
Please, please release the whole thing on DVD or show it on Paramount!!

Sat on a flight from Copenhagen and crying with laughter as I recounted the Frank Hovis sketch, where he has a titanic struggle, with a work colleague.  All of us of a certain age remember waiting for the humming theme tune and looking forward to the best 30 minutes of comedy.  Long before the latest fad comedies Absolutely was the topic of conversation at school/work.  Bring on the box set!

It should definitely be released on DVD. I'll buy it for starters, and I can think of a number of friends that would do the same. While we're at it, it should also be repeated.

It should be repeated because it was a genuinely funny and unique show. Great Scottish humour ("English? We INVENTED the English!") and characters. It's bizarre how these independent shows don't seem to get repeated or released on DVD ("Chelmsford 123" is another example of a classic not-to-be-forgotten C4 show). It doesn't matter if people haven't even seen the show because one can't help but like it from the start. COME ON Channel 4 - get your act together, or at least sell the rights to the BBC and let them release it on DVD.

To all involved with ABSOLUTELY. You may have underestimated how popular that show was! Have you seen how much used copies of the VHS go for on eBay? That in itself is an indicator of how much we all want to get our hands on a copy. If/When it does get released on DVD, I'm certain it will be a best-seller.Even now my husband and I use Absolutely-speak in our everyday conversations and folks think we've gone nuts. The public should be made aware of these characters again. When I call Sean Connery 'Seen Canary' and use Calum Gilhooley's phoenetic alphabet ('G' for Gnome) they'll understand....
Thanks for listening : )

This show was a classic.Absolutely hilarious and way ahead of it's time.I have a couple of episodes on tape and they are still laugh out loud funny now.
The characters were inspired.Frank Hovis and Callum always made me laugh,but the old guy had me in hysterics.
Channel 4...give us the DVD and repeat it now.It's much funnier than anything in the last 15 years.Will knock little britain off the top spot.

If you look at some of the s**t that does come out on DVD "Absolutely" should be released to redress the balance.

I've just spent an enjoyable few hours looking around your site. My friends and I often reminisce over some of the classic Absolutely characters and sketches. I'll make sure I e-mail them the link.
Like many others, I would love to see this and Naked Video released on DVD. I would certainly snap it up and I know many other who would.

Thanks for keeping the memory alive.

Non stop laughter whenevr I watched it, and the classic Frank Hovis farting sketch has me crying with laughter everytime I watch it...even better than the renowned Blazing Saddles campfire scene!
Miles better than most of the current crop of sitcoms so...Let' have it on DVD now !!!!

"Absolutely" was a great show; given that "Nightingales" has recently been released on DVD it seems strange that "Absolutely" remains unavailable. "Nightingales" was very funny but compared to "Absolutely" has a very limited appeal in terms of potential audience. Why has Channel 4 chosen to release the one but not the other? I seldom meet anyone whose even heard of "Nightingales" yet mention "Absolutely" and chances are that someone will start talking about Stoneybridge or one of the other characters.

I have got third generation copies of the first and second series only and I have been wanting to have better copies for years. I taped the 3rd & 4th series myself (as i was at a few of the recordings)and they are better but i still want them on dvd.  I would definately buy box sets of complete series but not 'best of' compilations.

God what fond memories I have of this show - I am a native of Swansea and was particularly fond of John and Morwenna's Denzil & Gwynedd characters - now I live in Yorkshire and I would love to see a revival even more. I loved Pete Baikie's bizarre songs ("I can do anything anything anything anything A-haha!!!!) Don & George, and Stoneybridge Town Council reminds me so much about Rural Town Council meetings I now attend as part of my job, it's all I can do not to laugh all the way through them and it's a wonder I haven't been fired!!!   ABSOLUTELY the BEST TV sketch show EVER, and I cannot add any more than has already been said on this petition other than please, CHANNEL 4, BRING IT OUT ON DVD, SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was one of the funniest sketch shows of the 80s/90s turnaround and some of the sketches new and innovative.
If you didn't laugh at this, people had to check your pulse.
Gilhooley, McGlashan, Zorba, Don and George...... the list is endless. Taking over from Naked Video and predating Chewin' the Fat, this was a vital link in the chain.

Please, please repeat and or make available the series'.

Please, oh PLEASE get this released on DVD asap!  Preferably the entire series and not just the material on the existing vidos.

I already own both the vidos but would buy any DVDs that were produced.
PLEASE!

This should be released on dvd because it is a classic comedy and should be available for fans to buy.  Channel 4 would make money out of this!  Please, please, please allow us to view this again on dvd as vid-e-os just don't cut the mustard anymore.

This is one of Scottish Comedy's forgotten greats. The next episode could never come quick enough and I have spent the last 6-7 years listening to rumours of new series, re runs and DVDs.

Please let it be true.
Come on Channel 4, re issue.
If you do I will arrange for Maigrette to put oot.

All hyberbole aside, this was one of the finest and most consistently funny sketch shows ever made. Had the good fortune to see the first episode again the other night and - references to Thatcher's Britain aside - the show stands up very well indeed. Are certain members of the group resistant to a DVD release? Ruddy shame.

Absolutely was one of the funniest sketch shows shown on TV in the early 90's and as such is well worthy of release on DVD. Many lesser series have been released so why not this one. Come on Channel 4 , pull your finger out.

Bring back Absolutely on DVD, the world is waiting. There are millions of new fans out there to be had and unless you bring a DVD out, they will never get to witness the comic genius that was Absolutely. There hasn't been a sketch show since that begins to hit the mark left by Absolutely. New series??? Come on, you know it makes sense.
