Synopsis
David Jason and Pam Ferris star as the heads of 1950's 'country-bumpkin' family, the Larkins, in the much loved THE DARLING BUDS OF MAY. This collection is a complete retrospective of the entire 3 series. Pop Larkin (Jason) endeavours to make money by unconventional means whilst Ma Larkin (Ferris), in more traditional style, heads the kitchen and looks after the family's six children. Also starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Philips Franks.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb series, 3 Feb 2009
By Mr. Mg Reynolds "Carry On fan" (Oxfordshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a fine series - lovely old England ! It is great seeing Kent on-screen being as it is The Garden of England ! Pam Ferris , David Jason and Catherine Zeta-Jones are outstanding ! I love the moral dimension about how stupid high taxation is. If you levy too much tax then people will do a Pa Larkin and just dodge it if they can. If they had a hard line on taxes then no fruit would have been picked and less wealth creation would take place. All would lose out ! I admire the Larkin's independence from the state , hard-work , enterprise and for showing rural South-Eastern England in the positive light that it deserves to be.It is right that Ma & Pa get married in the end and the episodes in France are a particular joy. All the comic misunderstandings are very funny indeed. The scripting is very good indeed and as I have already alluded the casting decisions are spot on. It is pleasing to see family life being displayed in such a loving way.

This is a series with bite as there is pronounced social comment , pathos and battles against injustice amid the comedic moments. Amazon as ever deserve the credit for offering an outstanding series at an extremely fair price. Fans of quality television have a great chance to add to their collection by buying this classic from Amazon who are the best on-line retailer.

What a lovely gentle series of this great story. The acting is great but what a pity that two of the episodes only give the first part !!!! Now I shall have to hunt down the second parts.
