Fawlty Towers is (of course) as good as comedy gets and this package is a bargain. However completists may want to be patient. Rumour has it that John Cleese is preparing commentaries for all 12 episodes in preparation for an extra special re-release. I believe he needs the money to pay for his divorce!

Ahhh memories. I watched The Goodies as a child, & now it's wonderful to have the DVD. The comedy is sharp, original & hilarious. Graham, Tim & Bill really broke new ground back in the 70's, & now, after more than 30 years the humour is still great & for me it has stood the test of time.
Just take the episode ''Tower of London''. I mean... tiny Beefeaters dissatified with eating corned beef. Genius !! For me, the more twisted & unexpected the ideas, the better !! All 8 episodes here are BRILLIANT. I recommend this to anyone who remembers the Seventies & likes wacky humour. Absolutely wonderful.

This seven-part sitcom is not the lost comedy classic that one might expect from writers of the calibre of Esmonde and Larbey. I seem to recall that The Other One was well thought of on first airing (1977), and deemed a worthy successor to The Good Life. Ex-Good Lifer Richard Briers plays Ralph Tanner, a compulsive liar and fantasist who attaches himself to hapless dullard Brian Bryant while on a package holiday in Spain. The duo share a succession of mildly embarrassing, very mildly amusing adventures before returning to the UK. Although Gambon's and Briers' performances are well up to par, the show suffers from jokeless scripts, stodgy direction and production by John Howard-Davies, and Ronnie Hazlehurst's slow, mawkish music (The Other One's theme is quite inappropriate ...
