5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 20 Dec 2008
By G. Powell "Devoted fan" (Lancashire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Everyone involved with Duty Free deserves credit. We have to start with writers Eric Chappell and his secretary Jean Warr. The regular cast - Keith Barron, Gwen Taylor, Joanna Van Gyseghem, Neil Stacy and Carlos Douglas were beyond brilliant. I got the feeling they each added their own thing to make a funny script even funnier.

*** Behind the scenes spoiler about the Christmas episode ***
Please don't read this until you've seen the episode.

A Duty Free Christmas was mostly filmed at an actual hotel in Spain. This was because some Duty Free fans thought the regular hotel actually existed and they felt let down to find the limit of its existence was a set at Yorkshire TV studios. The hotel (Don Carlos) still exists but was refurbished around the year 2000.

Ok so now onto the spoiler. Gwen Taylor couldn't fly out to Spain due to other commitments so all her scenes were filmed in and near a particular London hotel. Huge credit to the person in charge of continuity. So many things to take into consideration. Gwen's presence in Spain was so convincing. Look closely at the windows in the lobby scenes though and you'll see what I mean. The windows were carefully masked. Nevertheless it still worked. It's worth remembering that the cast didn't want to do the Christmas special at first. Since the special wasn't shown in front of a live studio audience prior to release there was no laughter track.

As a huge fan though I'm extremely grateful that Duty Free (including the special) was made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Duty Free the Complete series incl Christma Special, 1 Feb 2009
By M. A. Richardson "mags book worm" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is lovely to be able to see this great TV prog. again ( and again ) when I want. I did not see them all of them first time around as I did not have a video at the time. Would recomend this to anyone who enjoyed the show. Ir is much better than the so called comedy that is shown on the TV today. Wish we could get a refund on the TV licence for every DVD of classic shows bought !

4.0 out of 5 stars good writing, good acting, poor sets, 9 Jul 2008
By Mr. L. Rayner (Barnsley, South Yorks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I remember this from when it was shown on TV. the characters and writing is excellent, very funny at times, the only dissapointment is the Christmas special episode which has a different feel and isnt the same Duty free we know from the previous three series.

It would have been nice to have some interviews with the cast or some commentary, no extras included.
