Review By Geoff

They don’t make ‘em like they used to!

 

Great, Great series, a pity we have had to wait so long for this and that it’s not the whole of the episodes on one DVD. However, that said, this has to be my favourite comedy series of all time. Now I can watch it as many times as I wish and don’t have to wait for the BBC re-runs! It’s one of those series where all the elements come together to make a perfect whole, the script and the chemistry between the actors couldn’t be better.

What an amazing piece of kit our telly was. Can you imagine having to change channel by turning a knob to tune in BBC2 and forever getting up to realign the aerial and contrast, and the only way to stop the picture from rolling was to give the set a good thump? Do you remember that we only have three channels to watch? Thinking about it, the conversation was better at school next day as everyone seemed to be watching the same thing unlike nowadays where we have too much choice. Aye, the quality of programmes seem to have dwindled when you think back to what we had in our days.
