Rising Damp: The Works [DVD] [1974]
1.  Rising Damp: The Works [DVD] [1974] DVD ~ Leonard Rossiter
The list author says:
  "Outstanding - Leonard Rossiter is just fantastic, and is more than ably supported by Richard Beckinsale, Frances de la Tour and Don Warrington."
Used & New from: £3.20

Steptoe & Son - Series One [1962] [DVD]
2.  Steptoe & Son - Series One [1962] [DVD] DVD ~ Harry H. Corbett
The list author says:
  "See how it all began. The first series of a comedy great starring Harry H. Corbett and Wilfrid Brambell. So what if the picture and sound quality isn't the best? This is television history!"
£7.00   Used & New from: £1.48
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Fawlty Towers - Series 1 & 2 [1975] [DVD]
3.  Fawlty Towers - Series 1 & 2 [1975] [DVD] DVD ~ John Cleese
The list author says:
  "A masterpiece! Every episode is brilliant - watch it over and over again, then find yourself quoting Basil Fawlty without meaning to."
£31.98   Used & New from: £6.92
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (46 customer reviews)

Butterflies - Series 1 - Complete [1978] [DVD]
4.  Butterflies - Series 1 - Complete [1978] [DVD] DVD ~ Wendy Craig
The list author says:
  "Described by some as 'offbeat', and originally broadcast on BBC2 for this very reason, Butterflies has a strong cast and good scripts. Geoffrey Palmer is particularly good in this series."
Used & New from: £8.48

Dad's Army - The Complete First Series Plus the 'Lost' Episodes of Series Two [1968] [DVD]
5.  Dad's Army - The Complete First Series Plus the 'Lost' Episodes of Series Two [1968] [DVD] DVD ~ Arthur Lowe
The list author says:
  "One of the genuine all-time classics. Arthur Lowe was born to play Capt. Mainwaring, and John Le Mesurier has never been more vague as Sgt. Wilson. Wonderful cast, characters, and show."
£3.99   Used & New from: £0.75
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (24 customer reviews)

Are You Being Served: Complete Coll - Series 1-10 [DVD] [1973] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
6.  Are You Being Served: Complete Coll - Series 1-10 [DVD] [1973] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Mollie Sugden
The list author says:
  "Outrageous! Why has this series not had a UK DVD release??? More great characters and plenty of double entendre!"
Used & New from: £81.54
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin : The Complete BBC Series Collection [1976] [DVD]
7.  The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin : The Complete BBC Series Collection [1976] [DVD] DVD ~ David Warwick
The list author says:
  "Leonard Rossiter is again superb in this series as Reginald Iolanthe Perrin. Watch and find yourself identifying with him......"
Used & New from: £12.99
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (65 customer reviews)

Hancock's Half Hour - Volume 1 [DVD] [1961]
8.  Hancock's Half Hour - Volume 1 [DVD] [1961] DVD ~ Tony Hancock
The list author says:
  "Tony Hancock was superb in these early TV recordings. If you have access to his 'Face to Face' interview, compare and contrast his fictional and 'real' characters. Very interesting."
£13.99   Used & New from: £1.44
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

On The Buses - Series 1 and 2 (4 Disc Box Set) [DVD] [1969]
9.  On The Buses - Series 1 and 2 (4 Disc Box Set) [DVD] [1969] DVD ~ Anna Karen
The list author says:
  "Politically incorrect? Who cares? Highly amusing comedy starring the Brylcreemed Reg Varney. Always fun to watch, even in monochrome! This was one of (if not the) biggest ever exports for LWT."
Used & New from: £15.23
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Please Sir [Box Set] [DVD] [1968]
10.  Please Sir [Box Set] [DVD] [1968] DVD ~ Carol Hawkins
The list author says:
  "John Alderton's in it, so it must be good. The film spin-off isn't bad either."
Used & New from: £13.79
