Just spent the evening watching the 2nd series so far available on the iplayer, as funny as the first, hence the reason I am buying this complete series 1. My husband and I Have had tears rolling down our cheeks. It won't be to everyones taste, I know (e.g. I found Fawlty Towers really funny the first time, not quite so the 2nd. Now? I head for the hills if it is ever on. I just find this side splittingly, (and get the Tena ladies near at hand) funny. I know people from teenagers, to 90 year olds who feel the same, in fact I have yet to speak to anyone, who has seen it, who doesn't like it) What a shame we over here have missed out on the past 12/13 or so, years when they began on Irish Radio. The cast struggle not to laugh, the ad libs are brilliant, even the film crew, when something goes wrong. Certainly puts a smile on my face.
