Description:  As the title suggests, this is a compilation of best-of moments and out-takes from the Myth Makers series of video interviews, woven into a Blade Runner-esque spoof drama.

Cover blurb:
The BOSS showed BRIGGS it all — the interviews with those stars from DOCTOR WHO, the triumphs and the cock-ups — especially the cock-ups!

But BRIGGS knew nothing about it! He hadn’t committed the crime of boring viewers to death.

So who had? What were the best bits (if any)? How many cock-ups had there been? Who was the BOSS? Or is this just a desperate attempt to patch to together a compilation tape?

Find out! Buy this ‘classic’ video production.

Note:  This was the seventh of 17 Myth Makers videos re-released in the US, which confusingly followed a different numbering scheme to the original British releases (typified by this release — since in the UK, Myth Runner wasn’t even part of the numbered Myth Makers series).

Cover blurb:
It is the future.

Celebrity interviews have been banned.

Some one is killing DOCTOR WHO stars by subjecting them to interviews so insidious, so inane that only Nicholas Briggs, the MYTH RUNNER, can stop him.

Will Briggs stop the host from hell?

Can the stars stomach the stupidity?

Is Nick Briggs really a ‘balding git’?

Find out in MYTH RUNNER, the best and worst of the MYTH MAKERS series. Out takes and new footage of your favorite ‘DOCTOR WHO’ stars makes this a collector’s item not to be missed!

Note:  Regions 2 & 4 DVD-R disc. Extended DVD re-release containing the original documentary, plus a collection of the “Myth Runner” segments originally featured on the early releases in the Myth Makers interview range.

Cover blurb:
Together for the first time on one DVD Video, here are all The Myth Runner Tapes produced as ‘B’ features for MYTH MAKERS interviews in the 1990s together with the original MYTH RUNNER The Best and Worst of Myth Makers documentary released in 1987.

Loosely linked by Nicholas Briggs’s portrayal of The Myth Runner (an exact robot double of said Mr. Briggs), here are some of the best and worst moments in Myth Makers history... plus some of the most hysterical and embarrassing ‘shorts’ you’ve ever seen.

Utterly anarchic and pointless... why buy it? Frankly we have no idea — but it might be fun listening to us trying to explain it all!
