**Sid's Blind Date -** The lads call Sid for a night of beer drinking in front of the television. But little do they know, it will lead to them undertaking an adventure in a strange and far off place.

**The Big Pull -** Sidney cruises the streets in search of something special. Much time, effort and incident leads to a result; which in turn leads to Sid's bedroom.

## Other releases

Several official rereleases of Sid and others of the **VIZ on Video** line were released, here they are shown.

The same year as the standalone VHS released on an unknown date (possibly Christmas 1992), "**VIZ Video Party Four Pack**" has Sid alongside "**Roger Mellie The Man on The Telly**" paired together on one VHS instead of separately whereas "**Oh Lordy! It's the Fat Slags**" and "**Billy the Fish**" were paired together as well.

Sid and the Fat Slags too saw an **Australian release** in an unknown year with no "**ON VIDEO**" on the front or distributor information where it should have been instead left blank. The reason for it being Australian is because the ACB's R 18+ rating is Australia's rating system as opposed to the BBFC's 18 rating here in the UK.

Sid saw a rerelease on "**2 on 1**" VHS tapes, Sid being paired on unknown dates with Roger in 1993 and the Fat Slags in 1994.

Sid also got a **standalone rerelease** on an unknown date in 1996 though this time it was released by Entertainment Today Limited and 4Video, near identical to the 1992 VHS.

Sid even managed to make it onto **DVD** on the 29th of November 2004, as well as all of the videos.

Once again this time on the 9th of October 2006 saw another 4 pack though this time around simply called "**VIZ 4 Disc Box Set**". It has Sid on a standalone disc like the one in the 2004 DVD alongside everyone else except Roger who has to be stuck with Billy on one disc as he somehow didn't get his own.
