Somewhere in my box of childhood books I have a Ghostbusters cartoon hardback story-book (like the old Ladybird books) which is bound upside down...

I also have a rather anomalous Eddie Izzard video. It's ostensibly, according to the title, a video of his "Glorious" stand-up show, and my friend and I bought copies during Sixth Form around about the same time and watched them one evening. The next morning we were discussing the show and realised we had in fact watched completely different things.

Turns out my video was actually of "Unrepeatable" (his previous show) despite the packaging being undeniably that of "Glorious" (the video itself is even gold!). Even more weirdly, the running time on the back of the box is that of "Unrepeatable".

I still have it even now, despite also owning a limited edition set of videos of his 90's stand-up shows (up to "Dress to Kill") in a presentation briefcase (plus an equally limited edition t-shirt I've obviously never unfolded or worn!), and despite now also owning his entire stand-up collection on DVD.

Some things you just don't throw away.
