Somehow she always manages to win through in the end, but not before dealing with an array of problems involving sons Simon and Peter, Auntie Flo, boss Mr. Campbell, and the new man in her life: widower David Redway, an antiquarian bookshop owner....And Mother Makes Three originally aired between 1971 and 1973, and is produced and directed by sitcom legend Peter Frazer-Jones (Never the Twain); this complete set brings together all four series for the first time on DVD.

Bowler: The Complete Series


 Bowler: The Complete Series
Cat No. 7953337

Bowler was a Fenn Street Gang spin-off which, although written after both Please Sir! and The Fenn Street Gang, chronicled the earlier adventures of former Fenn Street pupil Craven’s shady boss, Stanley Bowler – the Del Boy of his generation. George Baker (The Ruth Rendell Mysteries) stars as the East End villain with social aspirations, while the series was once again penned by veteran sitcom writers John Esmonde and Bob Larbey. Soap legends Wendy Richard and Johnny Briggs are among the guest stars appearing in this wryly humorous look at one man’s attempts to breach the barriers of the English class system. Stanley Bowler has a finger in every profitable pie, and his money can buy everything but the thing he wants most: class. His unstoppable ambition to move in higher social circles sees him embarking on a series of ill-fated schemes – including opening his very own gentlemen’s club, conspicuously embracing high culture, and even trying to set himself up as a laird. Sadly, while Bowler stumbles from one faux pas to another, the doors of society remain very firmly closed...

 Cannon And Ball: Series 1
Cat No. 7953344

Having been given their major TV break on Bruce Forsyth’s Big Night in 1978, Oldham welders-turned Clubland stars Cannon and Ball went from strength to strength, and this ratings-winning LWT series, launched the following year, consolidated their success and made them household names. Showcasing their trademark stand-up routines with sketches, spectacular variety entertainment and a wealth of guest stars, the series ran for nine hugely successful years – with a series being recorded every year until 1988 – with several Easter and Christmas specials. This release contains all the shows screened in the first series, with special guests including Irene Handl, June Whitfield, Maureen Lipman, Liza Goddard and Michael Robbins. A major strike by ITV technicians halted transmission for several weeks during the summer of 1979, and this is reflected in the dates given for the shows, which are presented here in transmission order.

 Class Act: The Complete Series
Cat No. 7953338

Joanna Lumley stars in this pacy, racy comedy drama penned by BAFTA nominee Michael Aitkins and produced by Verity Lambert; Ian McNeice, Dennis Waterman, Elizabeth Spriggs, Keith Allen and Celia Imrie are among a host of guest stars. Attracting over ten million viewers, Class Act ran for two hit seasons in 1994 and 1995, and the complete series is available here for the very first time on DVD. The aristocratic Kate Swift has been left in trouble and in debt by her wide-boy husband, Duncan; having vanished while under investigation for fraud, he has also left Kate to carry the can. When journalist and key witness Jack Booker implicates her in the crime, Kate is imprisoned for six months. On her release, she is broke, angry, and determined to find her husband. Ready for anything, she forms an unlikely alliance with Booker, an alcoholic, card-carrying coward, and former inmate Gloria O’Grady, a young Australian woman with a special talent for burglary. Wit, instinct, theft and sex become the dubious tools of their trade, as they try to stay out of the red… and out of jail.

 Cuffy: The Complete Series
Cat No. 7953310

Spinning off from comedy drama Shillingbury Tales, this engaging sitcom from 1983 stars Bernard Cribbins (The Railway Children, Doctor Who) as the scruffy, rather mischievous tinker who lives in discomfort in a shabby caravan in the fictional, picture-postcard Hertfordshire village. Cuffy is now the centre of attention as he mopes around Shillingbury with a permanently grubby coat, flat cap and stubble - although underneath it all, he has a heart of gold. Other Shillingbury Tales cast members reprising earlier roles include Jack Douglas as farmer Jake, Linda Hayden as his daughter Mandy, and Nigel Lambert as the Reverend Norris; Diana King now features as local spinster Mrs. Simkins. Cuffy was written by the multi-talented producer/director/writer Francis Essex, best known for bringing The Muppet Show to British TV but also a noted composer whose themes include Follyfoot’s celebrated The Lightning Tree (as Steven Francis). This complete series, available for the first time on DVD, also features guest appearances from Gareth Hunt and Beryl Reid.

 Curry And Chips: The Complete Series
Cat No. 7953165

Written by Johnny Speight, creator of Till Death Us Do Part, and based on an idea by Spike Milligan, Curry & Chips proved to be one of the most controversial situation comedies ever made. Originally screened in 1969, the series featured Milligan as Kevin O’Grady, a man of mixed Asian and Irish descent who has just started his new job at Lillicrap Ltd, manufacturer of cheap novelty items and seaside souvenirs. Inevitably, he soon becomes the butt of jokes from his resoundingly intolerant workmates. Speight’s determined attempt at confronting racism with its own conventions polarised critical opinion, although it was extremely popular with the viewing public and ended up in the ITV Top Ten.

In between major successes in the Likely Lads series, Rodney Bewes also became the star of this ratings-winning sitcom chronicling the misfortunes of a naïve young man from the north of England who moves to London in search of fame and fortune. Dear Mother… Love Albert was co-written and produced by Bewes, and based on the actor’s own letters home, in which less-than-impressive details were omitted and triumphs wildly exaggerated; Bewes also sung the show’s theme song, which he co-wrote with songwriter and musician Mike Hugg. Dear Mother… Love Albert also features Garfield Morgan as Albert’s boss, Mr Strain, and Geraldine Newman as his landlady.

Cat No. 7952948

The TV adaptation of the highly popular series of ‘Doctor’ books by Richard Gordon was a massive hit for ITV on its original transmission in 1969. Centred on the hilarious misadventures of a team of young doctors at St. Swithin’s Hospital, the series showcased the talents of Barry Evans, Robin Nedwell, Geoffrey Davies and Richard O’Sullivan as their characters made painful progress from newly qualified juniors to fully fledged medical malcontents under the scrutiny of the fearsome Professor Loftus (Ernest Clark). Featuring scripts from a team of writers that included Bill Oddie and Graeme Garden (The Goodies), John Cleese and Graham Chapman (Monty Python’s Flying Circus), Barry Cryer (The Two Ronnies, The Kenny Everett Television Show) and Douglas Adams (Hitch-hiker’s Guide…), its original setting and robust humour made the Doctor series essential viewing.

With her five children now grown up, Caroline Fairchild decides to resume her former career in the cut-throat world of publishing. Against the wishes of husband Donald, also working in the industry, she takes up the position of Editorial Director for her old company, Oasis Publishing, in London. Little does Caroline realise that Oasis Publishing – part of an American conglomerate overseen by the megalomaniac Edgar Frankland Jr. – is poised to take over Donald’s employer, Ginsberg Publishing, and that Frankland takes a rather harsh line on married couples working together within his empire. Caroline and Donald’s solution is unorthodox, yet practical: they become an undercover couple, with Caroline using her maiden name and Donald steadfastly refusing the advances of female colleagues. The ploy seems to work – but there is one unpalatable aspect for Donald: he now finds himself taking orders from his wife..

Cat No. 7953273

Bob Hoskins (Pennies from Heaven) and Frances de la Tour (Rising Damp) star in this light-hearted, captivating series set in the very early days of the silent movie industry. Flickers was created and written by sitcom veteran Roy Clarke (Keeping Up Appearances, Last of the Summer Wine) and directed by Cyril Coke (Upstairs, Downstairs, The Duchess of Duke Street), and originally screened to huge acclaim in 1980; the series received a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Limited Series in 1982. Forty-year-old Arnie Cole is a movie pioneer, showing films in makeshift cinemas during the first quarter of the twentieth century – a long way ahead of the golden age that will be more glittering than his wildest dreams. But opportunities are opening up all the time, and Arnie’s true ambition is to produce films of his own. Financial backing is, inevitably, the stumbling block. But it comes his way in unexpected form when he is introduced to Maud, the snobbish, rather plain sister of a well-to-do acquaintance; at first, Maud finds Arnie brash and vulgar, and he is equally unimpressed with her – but having discovered that she is pregnant, she makes him an offer that he finds hard to refuse...

The alter ego of multi-talented songwriter, former Freshies frontman, illustrator and animator Chris Sievey, Frank Sidebottom sprang to national fame in the mid-1980s with his soul-stirring interpretations of hits such as Bohemian Rhapsody and Anarchy in the UK. Frank’s surreal, distinctly Mancunian humour garnered a legion of loyal fans, and in 1992 the aspiring pop star, Altrincham FC fan, occasional Granada reporter and self-styled Bard of Timperley launched his very own TV show, broadcast from the converted shed that functioned as his showbiz HQ. Also featuring diminutive sidekick Little Frank, the shows include Frank’s take on Crimewatch, Timperley’s contribution to Manchester’s Olympic bid, pioneering rocket science in the back garden, and even a staging of Live Aid 2! So join Frank and his friends Mark Radcliffe and Caroline Aherne (making her TV debut as next-door neighbour Mrs. Merton), in six top shows. Other varied guests include Phil Cornwell, Marc ‘Lard’ Riley, Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson, Midge Ure, Adamski, footballer Lee Chapman, The Farm, Keith Chegwin, Oceanic, Kevin Lloyd (The Bill) and Nicholas Parsons.

Hester’s brave attempt to cross the language barrier, using Franglais and mime to rival Marcel Marceau, merely causes bewilderment. And French customs and culture are no less tricky; even the car steering wheel is in the wrong place, while asking a surly housekeeper to leave could be seen as despotic and spark a minor revolution. However, despite such difficulties, the Fields persevere in their inimitable style – providing comic entertainment for their French friends and viewers alike.

With a renewed zest for life and a fresh dynamism in their relationship, she insists that the couple take up a number of new pastimes and challenges – even if William sometimes lacks his wife’s enthusiasm and seemingly boundless energy. Starring Anton Rodgers as accountant William and Julia McKenzie as accomplished cook Hester, Fresh Fields’ wry, gentle humour made it a firm favourite with viewers, spawning an equally popular sequel – French Fields – and earning McKenzie a BAFTA nomination for Best Light Entertainment Performance. The series, which aired between 1984 and 1986, was produced and directed by sitcom veteran Peter Frazer-Jones (George and Mildred, After Henry).

This International Emmy Award-winning comedy stars Anton Rodgers (May to September) and Julia McKenzie (Cranford) as William and Hester Field, a happily married middle-class couple whose children have flown the nest.

Hello Cheeky


 Hello Cheeky
Cat No. 7953267

Hello Cheeky fearlessly brought Radio Two’s long-running 1970s comedy show to television, featuring the legendary talents of Goodies star Tim Brooke-Taylor, fellow I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue stalwart and comedy writer Barry Cryer, and writer and actor John Junkin; composer Denis King provided musical accompaniment (and frequently became the object of ridicule for the other three). The half-hour shows were pre-recorded in front of a live audience and replicated the original series’ trademark mix of preposterous sketches, appalling jokes, raillery and general silliness. Improvisation abounded, with the occasional blunder retained in an irreverent approach summed up by Cryer as ‘Laugh-In without the gloss, only desperation and rot’. A typical show might feature advice on looking after an armadillo, teaching your dog to samba or making your very own space rocket from a yard of lint, an operation on a false moustache, or even a gala dinner with the officers and crew of the Nancie Celeste...

Twiggy Rathbone, newpaper tycoon and owner of Rathouse International, relaunches his Daily Crucible newspaper as a completely downmarket, sex and sleaze-centric tabloid. To aid him in this crusade he brings in South African newspaper editor Russell Spam, whose job is to deflect the complaints of the ‘old guard’ and re-employ bottom-of-the-barrel reporters like Greg Kettle, the sort of person who thinks nothing of using a medium to interview victims of capital punishment...

 Miss Jones And Son: Series 1
Cat No. 7953355

Paula Wilcox (Man About the House) stars in this six-part comedy series depicting the complicated life of Elizabeth Jones, a young woman coming to terms with the responsibility of looking after her baby alone at a time when single mothers faced widespread prejudice. Though sympathy and emotional support comes in the shape of next-door-neighbour and friend Geoffrey (Christopher Beeny – In Loving Memory), every step seems to bring fresh difficulties for Elizabeth – including the reproaches of her parents, a radically curtailed social life, and a much-reduced income... Miss Jones and Son came from the creative team responsible for And Mother Makes Three, Man About the House and Robin’s Nest. It was notable for being the first British sitcom to depict a single mother. Presented here is the complete first series.

 Moody And Pegg: Series 1
Cat No. 7953215

Daphne Pegg, finding herself disappointed in love, walks out on her non-relationship with her boss in Bolton and relocates to London. While she is on her way to start her new life, newly divorced antiques dealer Roland Moody has also decided to make the same move. What neither of them anticipates is that a shady estate agent has leased the same flat to both of them... putting them on a collision course to a situation which is, by turns, infuriating, hilarious, and – albeit on very rare occasions – even mutually beneficial... Moody and Pegg was penned by noted television writers Julia Jones and Donald Churchill (Armchair Theatre, The Duchess of Duke Street), and stars Judy Cornwell (Keeping Up Appearances) as disillusioned civil servant Daphne and Derek Waring (Z-Cars) as the determinedly carefree Roland. Peter Denyer (Please, Sir!), Terence Alexander (Bergerac) and Tony Selby (Get Some In!) also appear in this cleverly scripted, bittersweet comedy-drama from 1974.

Cat No. 7953342

Clive Dunn (Bootsie and Snudge, Dad’s Army) is Sam Cobbett, the geriatric hero of this hilarious sitcom from Yorkshire Television. Based on a BBC pilot that originally starred Ronnie Barker, My Old Man takes a look at the generation gap – in particular, what happens when a crusty, opinionated old timer ends up living under the same roof as his daughter and son-in-law. Also starring Dunn’s wife Priscilla Morgan (as daughter Doris), Edward Hardwicke and Keith Chegwin, My Old Man proved a ratings hit for Yorkshire Television between 1974 and 1975; this release presents the complete first series. Retired engine driver Sam Cobbett has been prised from his terraced house in Ironmonger Row by the crowbars of the demolition men. With Sam needing a new home, an obvious solution emerges in the shape of the spare room in his daughter’s new high-rise fl at. Sam is, all things considered, a reasonable man. He fought in two world wars, and he’s seen a lot of life. It’s just that he has some rather strong ideas on how to live it, and they’re not usually shared by his social-climbing son-in-law, Albert – whom Sam takes much delight in embarrassing at every opportunity...

Cat No. 7953191

This gentle, romantic sitcom stars the real-life partnership of Pauline Collins and John Alderton as a couple recounting the eventful earlier years of their married life together. Written by another highly successful husband-and-wife team – Terence Brady and Charlotte Bingham – the series’ novel formula, with each episode’s events unfolding in flashback form, was an instant hit with viewers on its original screening in 1974, spawning a sequel, Yes Honestly, and a Top Ten hit for Lynsey De Paul’s theme song. Clara and Charles Danby revisit several key moments from their courtship and marriage of ten years. Clara is now a successful children’s author, while Charles, affectionately known as ‘CD’ (‘Clever Drawers’), is an established actor. But life wasn’t always this comfortable for the Danbys; early days saw the couple struggling to make ends meet as their fledgling careers seemed to founder, and Clara’s choice of husband caused a little unease for her aristocratic family. However, the combination of Clara’s oddly compelling logic and CD’s eternal optimism saw them through those unsteadier times – and would they really have wished it otherwise?

"Corruption in low places is what keeps this show on air..." Les Dawson's self-deprecating and enduringly bleak humour, coupled with a world-weary delivery honed in the working men’s clubs of northern England, made him one of Britain’s best-loved comedians. Sez Les was the TV show that firmly established Les Dawson’s reputation, running for over seven years and bringing his dour, miserablist humour to a wider viewing public. Among the gems in this set are some death-defying stunts courtesy of The Great Roberto, Superflop saving Leeds from the masked Fred and Cosmo Smallpiece strutting his stuff! This volume consists of the complete seventh and eighth series, alongside his 1973 Christmas show. It includes star turns from Olivia Newton-John, Clive Dunn, Dana, David Essex, Slade, Lynsey de Paul, Lulu, a running guest spot for comedy legend John Cleese and, of course, Roy Barraclough (who - complete with headscarf and heaving bosom - would join Les as the other half of Cissie and Ada).

 The Arthur Haynes Show: Volume 1
Cat No. 7953363

Reigning supreme for almost a decade as ITV’s biggest comedian, Arthur Haynes was one of the most influential and popular comics that television has ever seen. His shows remained firmly in the top ten until his untimely death in 1966 robbed the world of a comedy genius. Lack of repeats ensured that subsequent generations were denied Haynes’ comedic brilliance - until now. Featuring wickedly funny scripts from Alf Garnett creator Johnny Speight, this set contains the earliest existing episodes of The Arthur Haynes Show. A lively mix of sketches and musical entertainment, Speight’s scripts invariably drew on the familiar class antagonism which he would hone to perfection on Till Death Us Do Part. Haynes’ robust working-class delivery was inspired - never more so than in the character of Hobo Haynes, a belligerent, heavily decorated tramp fond of recounting tales of patriotic bravery whilst being ‘up to me neck in muck and bullets’. This release of The Arthur Haynes Show returns him to his rightful place among the comedy greats.

Having filled the house with expensive furniture, flashy gadgets and a succession of decorative young ‘temps’, his flamboyant lifestyle has left the hard-up Hawthornes feeling distinctly squeezed out... This release comprises the complete third series of the hit Granada sitcom, originally screened in 1977.

The Dustbinmen: The Complete Series


 The Dustbinmen: The Complete Series
Cat No. 7952263

There’s comedy among the dustbins with this classic, top-rated series from the late 60s/early 70s. Created by celebrated writer Jack Rosenthal (THE EVACUEES), the series revolves around four misfits and their affectionately-named dustbin van – “Thunderbird 3”. Rosenthal would go on to write the highly-successful comedy series THE LOVERS and create one of ITV’s most watched programmes – LONDON’S BURNING. THE DUSTBINMEN’s working-class humour outraged Mary Whitehouse at the time it was broadcast and it could probably be rightly described as a less-adult and more amusing precursor to the early-90s hit series COMMON AS MUCK. Included in this set are all remaining episodes (two episodes are missing from the final series), the pilot play and the Christmas Special sketch. This special will appeal to anyone who likes Jack Rosenthal’s work, 60/70s sit-coms and archive television fans.

Cat No. 7953403

Class distinction exists in most countries, but that has never stopped Cinderella from meeting her Prince. The universal appeal of rich-man-falling-for-working-class-girl is the theme of this hit comedy series starring Lorraine Chase and John Standing - leads whose own backgrounds mirror those of their characters. The Other 'Arf was conceived by Terence Howard (who had worked on the celebrated Campari ad campaign which launched the TV career of model Lorraine Chase), and developed by legendary comedy writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais (Porridge, Auf Wiedersehen Pet); originally screened in 1980, this first series also stars Patricia Hodge, Natalie Forbes and, in an early TV appearance, Caroline Quentin. Sir Galahad comes in many guises, and in the case of beautiful model Lorraine Watts he's in the form of Charles Latimer, a Tory MP who saves her from the unwelcome attentions of a lecherous photographer. While Charles is an aristocrat and Lorraine is a Cockney born and bred, the difference in their social stations fails to put the brake on their express dash into romance... although it promises to be a bumpy journey!

Nevertheless, as gadgets expert 'Piglet' – 'Puma' and 'Panther' were, sadly, already taken - he uses all his skill to combat not only the Soviet agents who are, his bosses are convinced, as active as ever, but a still greater menace: the French secret service! Peter's toughest challenge, however, seems to be dealing with wife Sarah's suspicions about her husband's increasingly strange activities...

The Strange World of Gurney Slade: The Complete Series


 The Strange World of Gurney Slade: The Complete Series
Cat No. 7953388

Both firmly of its time and spectacularly ahead of it, The Strange World of Gurney Slade is to television comedy what The Prisoner has become to television drama - brilliantly inventive, startlingly surreal and unlike anything previously seen on television. Anthony Newley stars as an actor who walks off the set of a banal sit-com and into a fantasy world of his own imagination. In this surreal odyssey through his own personal alternative reality he indulges in random conversations with both animals and inanimate objects – it’s a world in which characters can step out of advertising posters and where he can hear the most intimate thoughts of passers by. An unpredictable, absurdist fantasy, Gurney Slade created an indelible impression upon anyone who saw it. Created by Newley and written by the highly talented Sid Green and Dick Hills (who were soon to become key writers for Morecambe and Wise) this series has been newly transferred from the original 35mm film elements specifically for this release.

This first series, also featuring one of the last TV roles for Doctor Who legend Patrick Troughton, was originally screened in 1986, and is available here for the first time in any format. Ashley Phillips is an average young man with a fairly average set of ambitions: he yearns for semi-detached bliss with a mortgage, a wife and a baby. He already shares a basement flat with the fiercely independent Elaine, a doctor’s daughter, but she resolutely rejects every one of Ashley’s marriage proposals. To make matters worse, Elaine works in a crèche – an eye-opening experience that has left her with absolutely no desire to start a family… at least, not just yet! Although Ashley’s life is frequently interrupted by the ministrations of his overbearing mother, Lilian, there is always someone he can turn to for advice on matters of the heart: Perce, his laid-back and lovable granddad.

The Upchat Collection


 The Upchat Collection
Cat No. 7953567

Sit-com favourites John Alderton and Robin Nedwell share the role of a homeless writer with a highly appropriate pen-name. Along with his many pseudonyms, the roguishly charming Mike Upchat has a rare ability to pass himself off as the character which best fits any given situation. And since Mike lives out of a left-luggage locker in Marylebone Station, that situation will often require his equally amazing ability to chat his way in and out of any beautiful girl’s life – usually via the bedroom. But if Mike Upchat isn’t the first Mike Upchat, then he probably isn’t the only Mike Upchat... A playful, inventive sitcom penned by Billy Liar creator Keith Waterhouse, The Upchat Line appeared in 1977, with its equally successful sequel airing the following year; in a twist ingeniously encompassing Alderton’s departure, Robin Nedwell plays the man who inherits the Upchat persona when Mike raffles the key to his locker. Both series are included on this set.

“It’s a good job he was nice to me on the way up because I’ve just met him on the way down...” The legendary Bernard Manning comperes while fellow stand-up veteran Colin Crompton is ‘Mr Chairman’ at the Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club – the friendliest working men’s club in the North. Amid the boozing, bingo and committee announcements, the show features rising stars and evergreen entertainers, contemporary acts and international stars – and the occasional musical oddity. For the first time on home-video format, this release presents the complete second series, in which Roy Orbison, P.J. Proby, Marty Wilde, Russ Conway, Matt Monro, and dancer, choreographer and UFO star Peter Gordeno can be found rubbing shoulders with the Amazing Bavarian Stompers and some 'exotic' dancers! Although the ‘club’ was a humorously authentic studio mock-up, this forgotten treasure of ‘70s light entertainment programming – building upon the highly successful live-audience format of The Comedians – brought the quickfire comedy, musical variety and convivial atmosphere of a typical Clubland concert night to a national audience. Providing a showcase for several future household names, Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club proved a ratings winner between 1974 and 1977; this second series was first screened in 1974 and the set also includes that year’s New Year’s Special.

This set brings together three television plays from multi-award-winning comedienne and writer Victoria Wood.

Liza Goddard and Donal Donnelly star in this sparkling sitcom which follows the blossoming romance between Matthew Browne, a struggling composer, and his secretary Lily Pond Browne. Spinning off from LWT’s popular No – Honestly (starring Pauline Collins and John Alderton), Yes – Honestly was again written by husband and wife Terence Brady and best-selling author Charlotte Bingham, and aired in 1976 and 1977; this complete first series – boasting a theme song co-written and sung by rock legend Georgie Fame – is now available for the first time on DVD.

And although they’re very much in love, they seem to encounter more than their fair share of obstacles and inconveniences, including visits from Lily’s eccentric Russian family and Matt’s dreaded mother, and a persistent scarcity of funds – not helped when Matthew’s disapproving family decide to cut him off without a shilling…
