Product Description
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ), SPECIAL FEATURES: 2-DVD Set, Black & White, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Available for the very first time on DVD - all eight hilarious episodes of the BBC's top situation comedy of the early 1960s! Life in the Fenner Fashions workshop is constantly disrupted by wildcat industrial action as firebrand shop steward Paddy (Miriam Karlin) takes on penny-pinching proprietor Harold Fenner (Peter Jones) over anything and everything! It seems like every day Paddy's blowing her whistle and yelling 'everybody out!'. Poor foreman Reg (Reg Varney) is stuck in the middle of the battle, just trying to keep everyone happy - and failing miserably! Sheila Hancock as Carole and Esma Cannon as Little Lil are amongst the workforce - as is a young Barbara Windsor. Created and written by Ronald Wolfe and Ronald Chesney (who later went on to have another hit series On The Buses with Reg Varney), The Rag Trade is a true classic which attracted enormous audiences when it was first broadcast between October and December 1961. ...The Rag Trade - Season 1 - 2-DVD Set ( The Rag Trade - Series 1 ) ( The Rag Trade - Series One )

Format:DVD
Wonderful to see this series released on DVD. The only problem is the transfer quality (picture and sound). Can appreciate this is old footage, but for the selling price one expects better quality. Technology is there to improve the said quality, but the makers haven't bothered on this occasion.

Still enjoyable even if the comedy is rather too predictable. LWT re-cast some of the parts and generally improved the shows as well as producing the programmes in colour. For entertainment choose the LWT programmes, for historic interest choose the earlier BBC series.
