How this show became for me the funniest on TV during the 80's when it's subject matter is not funny but sad, can only be attributed to the superb writing of John Sullivan (Only Fools and Horses) and acting of all concerned.
See a forty something school teacher John Lacey (Ralph Bates) try to get his life back in some semblance of order, (After his wife had left him for his best friend.) with his exploits at the 1-2-1 club.
Meet the club's organiser Louise, who ask's all her customer's if they have any "sexual problems".
Meet the flashy Kirk St Moritz a man whom it seems has it all. (So what's he doing here?)
There's also insecure Kate and motorcycle combination owner Ralph.
A show that should not be funny, but is!
This set contains all two series:-
Seven episodes series one,
Six episodes series two and the fifty minute Christmas special.
The part of John's son Toby was played by Ralph Bates real life son.
DVD Info.
3 Disc set.
Special features- Cast filmographies, English sub-titles.

like some of the other reviewers i have waited along time for this to come out on dvd.. every episode is a gem with each character developing as the series progresses watch out for: kevin lloyd as a faded rock star in series 2 - classic. i recommend this too everyone especially if your fans of fools and horses etc

I was really pleased to see this had been released on DVD, but approached with caution as I thought it wouldn't be as funny today as it was back in the 80's, how wrong I was!
I sat down to watch one episode last night, and was still up at 4am having watched the entire DVD set, I just couldn't stop watching, and laughing out loud.
There is not one weak performance on show here, the entire cast gel wonderfully, and the blend of uproarous belly laugh humour and pathos is truly superb, the quality of writng is faultless.
Please, do yourself a favour and buy this, you really won't regret it.

At last
At last I have this collection. Simple comedy and there are times that one almost seems to know the characters in one's own neighbourhood.
