4.0 out of 5 stars Classic gags!, 26 Aug 2006
By Freddie Valentine "lordfreddievalentine" (Berkshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
From the days before 'alternative' comedy, comes this classic tv show where a host of comedians (from mainly the working men's club background) tell joke after joke. Simple. But funny.
For those of us that remember the original show, there will be a sense of nostalgia about watching this and for those that have been raised on punchline free studenty comedy, it will be a eye (and mind opener).
This is the 'best of' series one and is an 80 minute compilation rather than the whole series. There is also a documentary about Ken Goodwin as an extra.
For the price, it's great value and there are loads of jokes on here. The sort of jokes you can remember and repeat.
Proper comedy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic stuff, 1 Feb 2007
By G. OAKES "oakesy" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is good stuff that does exactly what it says on the tin. If you are a fan of old fashioned punchy gags then this is the DVD for you. This was back in the day when comedy meant telling jokes, an art form that is dying out. Over the past 20 years the trend has been more "look at life / humorous observation" type comedy, especially as the PC brigade came along and spoilt all the fun.

This is a good example of the noble art of delivering a joke, something we all try and do down the pub or at work etc etc. If you are not particularly good at it then buy this as an educational tool. This could easily be used to help you write a best mans speech, just adapt the gags.

I hope they release all the subsequent series and give us some dvd extras of both the late George Roper and Charlie Williams. It is worth the money just to see Charlie Williams telling jokes, an absolute master at work and one of the funniest men Britain has ever produced.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Comedians., 15 Feb 2009
By James W. Turner - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just what the doctor ordered! A great now sadly nostalgic look of comedy by comedians who all served their apprenticeships in British Clubland and were not scared of being politically correct.GREAT.
