* ''The Very Best of Have I Got News for You'' (2002) was a compilation release of highlights from the first 12 years of the show, from the beginning up until the episode made after Deayton hit the tabloids. The main feature is three hours long, with the DVD release also containing many extras, including, among other things, a running commentary of the main feature by Merton and Hislop. Other extra content featured includes a clip of [[Terry Wogan]] on fellow Hat Trick series ''[[Room 101 (British TV series)|Room 101]]'' nominating the programme as one of his pet hates, alongside interviews with political figures (taken from the [[Channel 4]] Politics Awards) revealing their opinions on the series.
* ''Have I Got News for You: The Best of the Guest Presenters'' (2003) is another compilation release. The main feature included several episodes from the series, including a half-hour cut of [[Boris Johnson]]'s first guest-hosted episode. Episodes with [[Martin Clunes]], [[William Hague]] and [[Bruce Forsyth]] as chairman were also included, as well as a compilation of clips taken from other editions from the first two series with guest hosts (with only the episode hosted by [[Liza Tarbuck]] not represented). The DVD release also included a bonus disc, "The Full Boris", which showed a far longer cut of the same episode (lasting slightly under 60 minutes),<ref>{{cite news|url=http://metro.co.uk/2012/11/09/top-10-have-i-got-news-for-you-guest-hosts-boris-johnson-to-damian-lewis-616645/ |title=Top 10 Have I Got News For You guest hosts: Damian Lewis to Boris Johnson |publisher=DMG Media|work=Metro |date=9 November 2012 |access-date=2 March 2017}}</ref> alongside several other extra features, including a discussion between Paul Merton and Boris Johnson regarding Johnson's appearance as presenter, filmed during his appearance as the celebrity guest on ''[[Room 101 (British TV series)|Room 101]]''.
* ''Have I Got News for You: The Best of the Guest Presenters Vol. 2'' (2005) is nearer in content to the first "Best of" DVD compilation than its direct predecessor, consisting of four 45-minute compilations of the Autumn 2003, Spring 2004, Autumn 2004 and Spring 2005 series. The bonus disc contains an 80-minute uncut version of Boris Johnson's second guest-hosted episode, alongside a bonus mini-feature called "The A to Z of HIGNFY". On it, each letter is used to stand for a different term or name often associated with the show, each highlighted by various example clips – except for the "problem letters" of X, Y and Z, which just lead into a selection of random outtakes. This feature also includes some behind-the-scenes content, with [[Marcus Brigstocke]] guiding the viewer around the studio and backstage, on a recording night.
