I saw this when it was first shown on ITV and I laughed then and oddly(!), over twenty odd years later, I still did!. To be fair, some episodes are a bit 'clunky', script-wise, but overall, a damn good laugh and seeing Colin Welland before he won the Olympics(!), is quite awesome in many respects but with a good cast including the late Roy Kinnear, it bears up quite well in today's world and if this was still running, I would assume they would have been 'featured' on BBC TV's "Watchdog" for shoddy workmanship!. But for the money and it includes all the episodes, its not bad value and compared to some of the stuff today being pumped out on the box, it's entertaining.

Being waiting for this series to come out.We never stopped laughing when it was on TV in the 80s.It was so well acted and you wonder why it did not run for longer on the TV.But just so pleases that it is out on DVD once again best price is on amazons web site.

OK the jokes are obvious and past their sell-by date but its still funny. I've watched it through several times and it still makes me laugh.

Rather dated but amusing.
This seemed quite slow but still worth watching. Difficult to find any British comedy on the box now.
Expensive for six episodes. Will propably avoid series 2. Read more
