'Allo 'Allo

 

I recently got the set of the complete Dustbinmen tv shows, it's a bit of Clockwork Orange meets Mr. Lucas from Are You Being Served. To be honest it's not all stone classic like Steptoe & Son, but it's awright.

 

Catastrophe season 3 is out in the UK. This was Carrie Fisher's final TV role.

 

Picked up Red Dwarf :10 DVD box.

 

Monty Python's Flying Circus.

 

Spaced
Black Books
Jam and Jerusalem

 

Smack the Pony, including this all-time great sketch...

 

That is such a great show. I wonder if the dvds were released in region 1.

 

The Two Ronnies

 

All the classics have been mentioned but I'll throw in a vote for some recent ones: Catastrophe (as mentioned) and Fleabag (not sure if mentioned).

 

I used to watch The Young Ones. First time I ever saw Motorhead.

 

Tempted to get a Dads Army DVD box, there two available it seems.

 

Smith & Jones

 

Who do you think you are kidding mister Hitler, you know we've got you on the run...

 

Another Two Ronnies clip

 

C'mon Amazon let's get with it!

 

Farty Towels
