Format:DVD
With this series recently being shown on tv I finally got bored with all the adverts and bought series 1 & 2. I've not regretted it. The versions they now show on tv have been edited and they appear to show a very poor quality copy. Seeing them as intended in a high quality transfer is a delight.
Fans can argue which is the best run and for me it's marginally the second. Series one is very much 13 episodes with little in the way of an overall storyline whereas the second series has a central story. The humour is as funny today as it ever was, the acting by the main characters is perfectly pitched (even if some of the bit parts are played by people who perhaps should never work again, although this is compensated for by other actors appearing you'll recognize from other shows), and the stories, even if a little obvious, work well.
So, treat yourself. All 26 episodes in one package is superb value.

After watching this on television I knew that I would purchase anything "The Lads" made. After I purchased the first two series I kept a eye out for any more of the follow up series. It seem to take along time to be released but released they were. I now own all the series and am still watching them. COULD NOT BUY BETTER

Ignore the uninformed reviewer above, the series 2 episodes included in this set are, so far, the only versions in existance. The original master tapes were not available, therefore they fade out/in whenever the 'end of part one/part two titles would have appeared. They dont spoil your enjoyment of the episodes in any way. They are not mastered from the half hour repeats in the eighties, otherwise all of Oz's swearing would be cut! Carlton went to lot of effort to master these discs, after the apalling vhs editions a few years back. These also include the full scene edited for music copyright, not all present in the vhs editions.

Auf Wiedersehen Pet.
Great Series both one and two but disks have no indication as to which order they should be played. So much time spent shuffling disks to make sence of story.
