*Directors Commentary* was a comedy television series created and written by Paul Duddridge and produced by Miles Ross. It was produced by Jones The Film for ITV and first broadcast in 2004. The show starred Rob Brydon as Peter de Lane, a fictional director who recorded audio commentaries for the DVD releases of shows he supposedly directed. These commentaries provided both information about the programmes and insight into de Lane's personal life. The series consisted of 7 episodes, all of which have been released on DVD. The show used stock footage from real television programmes, including *Bonanza*, *Only When I Laugh*, and *Flambards*, and de Lane did not appear on screen in person.
