Well, if you like deleted scenes, you'll be pleased to know there's a whole film out there functioning as the spiritual sequel to the first Anchorman movie. By the beard of Zeus!

Trapping these moments in their own glass case of emotion, there were so many outtakes from Anchorman due to its largely improvised comedic sequences, that a 93 minute movie was stitched together with the pieces left on the cutting room floor. Utilising a subplot that was dropped from the main movie, the news team investigate an extremist bank-robbing gang called The Alarm Clock - well, if we love lamp, it makes sense to hate Alarm Clock. Don't question it.

Obviously, this much extra content in the film would have changed it drastically, and it's probably a good thing most of it got taken out considering the reception of the 'one and a half' movie.

Which of these deleted scenes do you wish had been left in? Let us know down in the comments.
