Takes you back to a time when tv was live. The actors performed in front of a live audience. These programmes were very popular at the time and the two main characters went on to have their own series.
Written by Barry Took and Marty Feldman made them very funny.
I watched these as a child and seeing these again takes me straight back to my childhood.
I think Network could have designed the menus better and the ends of the programmes stop abruptly, like pushing a pause button on a video machine.
A Classic which was almost lost thanks to the 50's and 60's policy of wiping film reels after a few years.
There are 50 episodes available in this box set out of the154 originally broadcast. Sadly just three episodes from series 1 and 1 from series 2 still exist which is a shame as these were the best episodes for me but all episodes from series 3 and 8 more from series 4 are here for your viewing pleasure.
The characters in this are largely funny, relatable and engaging, especially Alfie Bass who plays Bootsie.
If you enjoy classic sitcoms then you will likely be entertained by this and would likely also enjoy the spin-off Bootsie and Snudge which have also been rediscovered.
This Series takes me back to my Childhood days of the late 1950s and that's the reason I bought it to go back to those good days. It was a funny series for it's time and worth having.
