The greatest...well...one of....
Perhaps the best British situation comedy of all time.....and there is some pretty stiff competition. There will be people, being too young, will not understand this gem....but myself, being old....fully understands it...and it's a delight....and in parts....oh so true!

Great Series
For anyone who has not watched this series you should. Obviously slightly dated on outside shots but bizarrely some story lines still topical. With a watch.

Very good

History repeats itself.
Amazing how the plot lines are STILL relevant in todays political realm; especially when it comes to Europe!Very well written and portrayed, incredibly witty with more than a dash of dry British humour. If only the BBC still produced gems like this but those days are sadly long gone.

Fantastic laugh -out-loud!
They don't make comedies like this anymore, it's one you can watch again and again and every single time it's still funny!

No extras
Just to point out (and any other releases might be just the same) there are no 'extras' at all in this box set. According to the MyMovies database there were 15 related items, e.g. Comic Relief, none of which are on this release.
