The Complete Naughty Bits is a DVD consisting of two previously released compilation VHS tapes of The Kenny Everett Video Show and Video Cassette, Kenny Everett's Naughty Bits and More of Kenny Everett's Naughty Bits. Both are not highly regarded by fans due to the heavy editing of sketches. It was released by Fremantle Media on Region 2 in the UK, and by Umbrella Entertainment on Region 4 in Australia and New Zealand. To date it is the only DVD release of Everett's BBC work.
As TV's technically innovative and anarchic "Kenny Everett Video Cassette" was drawing to a close in 1981, its star compered this very different comedy show tailored for the new home video market. Shot in a nightclub in London's Soho it features old-school comics, some in evening dress, doing dirty material that would not have been allowed on TV at the time. It's very much of its era, i.e. sexist, racist, homophobic, although this style of comedy was already on its way out. Alternative comedy was well established and would soon become the norm. Everett is between the two eras. He is as camp as Christmas on stage but in interspersed comedy sketches shot elsewhere he only lusts after semi-naked young women. In keeping with Everett's TV style, mistakes and chat with the film crew are kept in and there are constant references to tape editing and rewinding (as well as sinful Soho). The comics are a mixed bunch and some of their jokes are now toe-curling. William Rushton's act consists largely of repeating the word "pouves". Leslie Crowther does the X-rated routine he would have used for working men's clubs. A celebrity-packed audience seems to be having a great time. Editing is haphazard to put it mildly. The tape must have sold because it was followed in 1982 by "The New Kenny Everett Naughty Video". In this format Everett, supported by Barry Cryer and William Rushton, performed his TV characters in a studio to a small, largely female audience. Both tapes will be included as extras on a forthcoming Blu-ray release of the Everett movie "Bloodbath at the House of Death". Almost certainly they will be have to be preceded by warnings about outdated discriminatory language.
After a whole eon, Kremmen has been awarded The Most Fabulous Man in the World Apart from God Award, and is presented with an enormous, fully automated spaceship shaped like a Brain. While Dr. Gitfinger examines the controls, Carla persuades Kremmen to have casual sex with her in their private quarters.
On Earth, the United Nations, along with David Frost, hold a secret meeting concerning an unknown matter and decide to alert Kremmen, who is now watching a documentary-film about trawler fishing in the North Sea with Carla. They return to Earth and go to meet the homosexual Head of Universal Security, simply named "Q", who informs Kremmen that planets are disappearing.
Along with their new robot Benny, Kremmen and the crew follow what appears to be a giant space-monster (who is apparently eating the planets) into the Snoop Galaxy, where the ship is swallowed whole by the monster. By pumping the Oxygen reserves into the monster's stomach, the ship is vomited out of the stomach and the crew are saved.
