I had a problem tracking down Comic Strips Bad News - found it on DVD in perth Australia via a worldwide search on ebay - pretty obvious I guess - but was pleased with the find...
Mind you I'm still trying to get my hands on the one where theyre in the recording studio for 45 mins... Huh

Try www.sendit.com.
Used to be black star and you can do a video hunt and they will try and find a copy for you. They are very good, they managed to find me a copy of a film that went out of production in the 80's. Will cost a bit though. Hope this helps

I've got quite a few of them on VHS (a big fan) and the two '4 Salesmen' one's they did more recently in .mpg format. I got them all off Ebay. The plan being to digitise them and then burn them to DVD and then re-auction the tapes.

1. Five Go Mad In Dorset: A send-up of Enid Blyton's Famous Five children's adventure yarns.
2. War: A couple on the run in foreign-army-occupied England.
3. The Beat Generation: A pastiche of the Beat Poets era, set in England in the summer of 1960.
4. Bad News Tour: A Spinal Tap-style send-up of a heavy-metal rock band, Bad News.
5. Summer School: A group of students re-create life in the Iron Age for a project.
6. Five Go Mad On Mescalin: Another Famous Five pastiche.
7. Dirty Movie: A cinema manager is continually thwarted in his attempts to enjoy a private screening of an erotic film.
8. Susie: A horny Norfolk schoolteacher ditches her husband and runs off to live decadently with a pop star.
9. Fistful Of Travellers Cheques: A pastiche of spaghetti westerns.
10. Gino - Full Story And Pics: A gangster on the run sells his story to the media.
11. Eddie Monsoon: - A Life? An alcoholic and violent South African TV personality has his programme banned by a British TV network.
12. Slags: A space-age gang, Slags, discuss evil tortures they can inflict on their enemy, the flower-proffering nice gang, Hawaiians.
13. Consuela: A married man quickly loses interest in his wife and finds fascination with his dogs and Spanish housemaid. Virtually a parody of Rebecca.
14. Private Enterprise: A toilet-paper delivery man on prison parole pretends that he has made a rock demo tape which he has stolen.
15. The Strike: An innocent writes a screenplay about the 1984 coal miners strike, but Goldie, a Hollywood mogul, wants to cast Al Pacino (Peter Richardson) and Meryl Streep (Jennifer Saunders) as Mr and Mrs Scargill. (This film won the Golden Rose award at the Montreux Festival in 1988.)
16. More Bad News: Bad News reunite and make a new record and video. (Edmondson, Mayall, Richardson and Planer had latterly, in late 1987, been out on the road as Bad News; a later TV presentation of the band occurred in Comic Relief, screened by BBC1 on 15 March 1991.)
17. Mr Jolly Lives Next Door: A hit-man (Peter Cook) becomes involved with two alcoholic proprietors of a squalid escort agency; his task: to kill Nicholas Parsons.

19. Didn't You Kill My Brother?: Wrongly imprisoned for crimes committed by his violent twin brother, Carl Moss is taken under the wing of his probation officer, who wants to marry him. Very Brechtian in style.
20. Funseekers: A bunch of 18-30s on holiday in Ibiza.
21/22. South Atlantic Raiders - Parts 1 and 2: A Falkland Islands invasion - with a difference.23. GLC: Hollywood stars play British political figures (echoing the theme of #15) - Robbie Coltrane as Charles Bronson as Ken Livingstone, Jennifer Saunders as Brigitte Neilson as the evil ice-maiden (Margaret Thatcher), Peter Richardson as Lee Van Cleef as Tony Benn.
24. Oxford: Soap opera-style sexy characters get turned on by education and do anything for a degree.
25. Spaghetti Hoops: An Italian businessman/freemason steals $200m and is shopped to the police. Hit men and kidnappings abound.
26. Les Dogs: A Felliniesque film about a self-obsessed man who has a car crash, wanders into a wedding reception and falls in love with the bride.
27. Red Nose Of Courage: The Labour leader, Miss Glenys Kinnock, falls in love with Coco the Clown, the night-time persona of John Major. (Screened on the eve of the 1992 General Election.)

29. Wild Turkey: A couple buy an unplucked turkey and find that it's not dead. The bird takes them hostage, demanding the release of all turkeys everywhere.
30. Detectives On The Edge Of A Nervous Breakdown: A spoof of 1970s TV detective shows. (See also The Bull****ters.)
