    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 the release of his surviving ATV shows on DVD. Featuring wickedly funny scripts from Alf Garnett creator Johnny Speight, this set contains all 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 collection brings together all seven individual DVD volumes of The Arthur Haynes Show in a single set, returning him to his rightful place among the comedy greats. SPECIAL FEATURES: Val Parnell Spectacular (disc 17) Promotional spot (disc 7) Image galleries (discs 1, 3, 8, 12, 14, 17) Paperwork and promotional PDFs (disc 1)

    Starring David Kossoff and Peggy Mount in their best-known TV roles, series six of this classic early ATV sitcom finds the Larkins - hen-pecked but crafty Alf and his formidable wife Ada - busy running their cafe and B&B in their own inimitable fashion, with former neighbour Hetty Prout helping out in the kitchen. Skilful attempts to dodge the rent by long-term lodger Osbert, and the tempting charms of a rival cafe's new waitress are only a few of the problems facing the couple this time around. This classic early ATV sitcom was created by Clapham-born Fred Robinson and based upon his youthful scripts for plays about a fictional Cockney family. With skilful comic playing and a script that ATV production controller Bill Ward described as the funniest he had ever read, The Larkins inspired great affection throughout its six year run. First screened in 1964, these episodes have been transferred from the original film telerecordings specifically for this release.
