A long-running success for ITV lasting for ten series over thirteen years Shelley features a masterful performance by Hywel Bennett as the bone-idle graduate-philosopher, cast adrift on a sea of unemployment. This set contains the complete sixth series, also featuring Belinda Sinclair as girlfriend Fran, and Garfield Morgan (The Sweeney) as hall porter Desmond; Fulton McKay, Max Wall and Robert Raglan guest-star. It’s been months since Fran gave Shelley the elbow until he can prove himself, economically speaking.

But most distressing of all... he has to live without his toaster! [show more]
