Really enjoyed the Do Not Adjust Your Set 2 DVD set I bought recently. Worth it just for the Bonzo footage alone! Not sure if what I got here in the US is any different from a British version...I know there were about 28 episodes and mine has 9 of them (plus somewhere I have a rough VHS video version of Do Not Adjust Your Stocking); not sure how many other episodes survived.
Great to see not just the standards but some songs that, as far as I know, never made any BDB albums: Captain Fantastic (Eric Idle on vocals and piano--sounds like an Innes song?)...Love is a Cylindrical Piano, etc.
Bonzo live experience: Neil Innes was to play the House of Blues near Boston, MA. I didn't think it would sell out--it did! I was heartbroken when I got there expecting to just buy a ticket! Well they did let me sit at the bar on the bottom floor and watch the show via TV monitor. Not quite the same, but had I known the one-and-only show would have sold out...

Yes, just do a search for Do Not Adjust Your Set and you'll see it. This is where I got my copy. Also go to www.youtube.com and do a search for Bonzo Dog Band and there are many clips of them, including several from DNAYS. The video and sound quality are very good...for years it was believed few episodes survived (though some showed up as bootlegs, of poor to middling quality, but the picture/sound quality of this set should impress you.)

Yeah I have the dvd's and boy does it take me back rushing home from school to catch it on the box I'm not sure there are other episodes, the nine on the dvd were rescued from film and transferred to digital media. One thing about watching them is you can see clearly where Python evolved from, the Bonzo stuff is the best part of it all tho and to think this was aimed at kids way back in the 60's. No wonder some of us a bit strange! You can also get it at www.play.com it may be a bit cheaper there.

I got hold of this yesterday and had been meaning to post here -- it's a snip at £4.97 in Music Zone stores at the moment. They're the ones that used to be MVC.
