5.0 out of 5 stars At last this classic series is released on UK dvd, 7 Nov 2007
By David - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Once again Network dvd have proved they are number 1 at releasing rare classic television series on dvd. This dvd contains all 7 episodes of the first series. Only When I Laugh concerns 3 patients in hospital played by Peter Bowles (The Bounder), Christopher Strauli (Raffles) and James Bolam (New Tricks) who enjoy life in hospital and arn't keen to leave. Under the watchfull eye of droll Doctor Thorpe played by Richard Wilson (One Foot In The Grave) they get up to all sorts of antics.
The quality of the episodes is superb and they are uncut with the advert breaks (without the actual adverts). The episodes are very funny with likeable characters. It remind me of the good old days when you were kept in hospital rather than just bundled out as soon as you could walk. There are no special features which is a shame - a making of documentary would have been nice or an audio commentary on some episodes would have been nice. Still, you can't have everything, this is 70's comedy at its best. Now hurry up and release series 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only When I Laugh Series 1, 12 Feb 2009
By C. Davis (Cardiff, Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is TV sitcom at its most classic. Legendary performances from all the actors involved. Well written by Eric Chappell, delivering an expose of a chaotic hospital, getting more chaotic and hilarious by each episode. Only When I Laugh - The Complete Series
