A fan of BBC comedy Joking Apart is releasing the first series on DVD.
Craig Robins has spent almost two years on the project, but with the permission of the show's writer Steven Moffat, he single-handedly bought the rights from the BBC and has put together a DVD package for fans which includes special features.
"This has never been about money," Robins explained, adding, "My motivation is knowing the amount of pleasure this release will bring."
"If it all goes well, it will lead to a string of releases for other quality shows which fans feel have been undeservedly overlooked."
