Shame as that would have shifted a few boxsets alone. Only that, the Ministry short Go to Blazes and The Big Blockade missing.

If they went to the trouble of interviewing Val Guest, Go To Blazes might be an extra...

I know someone who has been trying to make a documentary on Will Hay, but I'm not sure how expert he is....his reputation is as an expert on silent and sub-standard film gauges...what did you want to know??

Dandy Dick was released by DD on VHS in their Hay Hysteria series, together with Radio Parade of 1935.

Neither are that funny, although it's nice to see Ted Ray (a highlight of Radio Parade for me).

The Will Hay Collection, from Optimum has now been reduced to just Radio Parade of 1935, The Black Sheep of Whitehall and The Ghost of St Michaels.
