I was so pleased to hear 4 or 5 years ago that they were finally releasing the complete series of the Q series! This 2dvd set shows the enduring appeal and great unique comedy talent that was Spike Milligan! he certainly was a one of,and it's so good to see all these complete episodes for the first time,having only seen clips in the past! Such good value at this price,it's a must have! Hey thanks Spike.
