The entire first series, plus the pilot, of the 1970s comedy which at the height of its success had over 17 million viewers. The storyline revolves around racist bigot Eddie Booth (Jack Smethurst) who is constantly making comments about people of different races in a derogatory manner. Eddie and his wife Joan (Kate Williams) live happily in a peaceful neighbourhood - until they meet their new neighbours. Bill Reynolds (Rudolph Walker) and his wife Barbie (Nina Baden-Semper) are African-Caribbean. It's not long before Eddie's prejudices come to the surface...

It saddens me that this kind of classic comedy is not as well known as others. Political correctness has ruined shows like these and I think they should still be shown on all channels. This is not only classic comedy but life lessons about life in the 70's. Love itt

This follows on from Series 1...when Bill and Barbie hold an housewarming party, Eddie tries to stop his wife from going but as usual she sides with the new neighbours so in a fit of pique Eddie complains to the police about the noise from the party, contains the full series plus 2 bonus episodes... another very tongue-in-cheek look at racism in the 1970s.
