For those judging Jim Davidson on his later efforts & many home video stand-up routines, well forget that Jim D. This is the nicer person, the 'Big Break' side of his nature.
The cheeky-lad mildly-farcical comedy may have seemed a little dated for 1983-1985, more in a style of a mid-late 70s comedy, but it's a nice show to watch. The amount of now-well known faces is very high, including Anita Dobson, Sue Nicholls, John Bardon in regular roles also Brian Capron, Christopher Ellison & even a cameo by Linda Robson.
The show is set mainly in Jim's house or in a Pub, the house is set near a railway in South London's Elephant & Castle, yet you hear not a sound of anything! The days of cheap silent background productions! By this it does limit itself a bit & can be a bit shallow in content.
But all 3 series for under £15 of a once rare ITV sitcom is a good buy & having watched the 1st series & liked it, I think you will too.

Bought this DVD from Amazon for my husband who is a big Jim Davidson fan for Xmas and he loved it. He got it for Xmas 2009 and has watched it twice already! Amazon was the only place I could find all 3 series on DVD for a decent price. I remember watching this programme on TV when I was younger and absolutely loved it. So glad it made it to DVD. This programme is nothing like the stand-up that JD is renowned for. It's typical funny cheesy 80's comedy and highly recommended by our household!

Seems a world away the 80s, but it's as fresh as ever, and one could easily watch all 3 series in a few sittings; it's so easy going.

Up the Elephant and round British comedy
At first it seems that this 80s series is dated, badly written, hammed up in its acting and cheesy, BUT after watching two or three episodes I'm hooked and laughing out loud. Read more
