Haha love it! Maybe a bit deadpan, maybe you've got to be my age to appreciate it, post-Python and pre new wave/Ben Elton etc era, but sits nicely between those same Pythons and then Fawlty Towers into the Blackadder/Dangerous Brothers/Comic Strip line

If you like Monty Python, Adventure, Humour you will love this timeless classic, if it was repeated on TV as much as Fools and Horses and Dads Army etc it would be at the top of peoples comedy series top list! Two of the UK'S best writers create its surreal engaging quality episodes with great features also - including an old comedy play written by Palin about a marketing team trying to sell their chocolate products after three of their maintenance team had fallen into the mix! - You really have to see this rare jem.

Fun to watch with Michael Palin in great form. Amusing moments and much in the anti establishment style aped by Monty Python but less sketch orientated and with a clear narrative. Very entertaining.

Wonderful shows from the days when BBC comedy was very funny. This set contains every episode from the series. It is well worth looking at the extras on disc 2 which has an episode from the BBC Black and Blue series titled Secrets and starring Warren Mitchell as the owner of a chocolate factory, this is I believe the only surviving episode from Black & Blue and has been restored from an early and poor quality VHS recording, despite this and the fact that it appears to get stuck (it doesn't, just keep watching) this is fabulous comedy and well worth watching.
