Just watched the first season again!!!
I can see why this excellent show has never been released on dvd, as it's very topical show commenting on the days events, unless u watched it first time round. sketches about john major, Iraq war (first one) wont have the same impact 16 years later. I think the catchphrases came very much in the second series.
Anyway it's a shame a programme like that is not being made today.
