• The Rag Trade: The Complete LWT Series | DVD | (13/08/2018) from £14.98   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Another huge comedy hit from On the Buses creators Ronald Wolfe and Ronald Chesney, The Rag Trade stars Peter Jones and Miriam Karlin as Harold Fenner, the much put-upon proprietor of Fenner Fashions, and Paddy, his ever-so-militant trade union shop steward in a sitcom that's designed to get you laughing! Originally a successful BBC sitcom from the early 1960s, a decade later both cast and writers reunited for two further hilarious series this time made by London Weekend Television for the ITV network. As well as Jones and Karlin reprising their roles as the series main antagonists, new additions to the cast included In Loving Memory's Christopher Beeny, On the Buses' Anna Karen and early role for Eastenders' Gillian Taylforth. This set contains all 22 LWT episodes, including the 1977 Christmas special.

• Romany Jones - The Complete Series 2 | DVD | (23/01/2012) from £13.98   |  Saving you £1.00 (8.34%)   |  RRP £12.99

  On the Buses creators Ronald Chesney and Ronald Wolfe chart the hilarious misadventures of two couples living side by side under strained circumstances. Dad's Army star James Beck, Queenie Watts, Arthur Mullard and Jo Rowbottom take the lead roles in this comedy of bad manners and one-upmanship amidst the mud, pennilessness and outrageous fashion sense of a run-down 1970s caravan site. The characters of Wally and Lily Briggs proved so successful that they were subsequently spun off into their own series: Yus My Dear.In this second hit series, the recently married and permanently skint Bert and Betty Jones resume their never-ending search for la dolce vita. But their carefree existence receives a jolt when Betty announces she's expecting a baby and there's further upheaval when Betty and Lily finally rebel against their work-shy spouses, throwing Bert and Wally out of their caravans until they prove they can hold down decent jobs...

• Yes Minister - Series 1 | DVD | (01/10/2001) from £5.30   |  Saving you £7.69 (145.09%)   |  RRP £12.99

  The first series of the elegant sitcom-cum-farce-cum-sophisticated political satire Yes Minister, setting off Paul Eddington's Jim Hacker, Minister for Administrative Affairs, against Nigel Hawthorne's discreetly obstructive civil servant Sir Humphrey. Series One features the pilot episode, "Open Government", curious in that it contains different and distinctly inferior opening and closing credits to the rest of the series. You also sense that Mrs Hacker was originally intended to have a larger role, with comedy focussing on the clash between political and domestic commitments, until the writers wisely decided to focus on the stand-off between Jim and Sir Humphrey, with Derek Fowlds' mousy private secretary Bernard making occasional interjections. While the series doesn't quite come fully to light--Sir Humphrey is at times a little too sinister for sitcom consumption--all the classic features quickly show up. Hacker's occasional Churchillian bombast, followed by panicky blank double-takes when flummoxed, Sir Humphrey's unflappable verbosity as he brings the dead weight of civil service bureaucracy to bear against Hacker's naively optimistic schemes for open government, Quangos and slashing red tape in episodes like "The Economy Drive". Ironic, that when this was first screened in the 80s, it was during the rampages of early Thatcherism in which Government had never been less like the ineffectual politicking satirised here. On the DVD: Full screen, no special features except scene selection and straightforward text profiles of the principal actors here. --David Stubbs
