Brilliant. Dave Allen was a naturally talented comedian who just needed to be himself to capture an audiance. My children have enjoyed watching him in action - a sign that his type of humour appeals to all ages.

Our two girls, now aged 25 and 23, loved this video and now our ten-month-old grandson sits entranced through it after lunch each week, when he comes to us for the day. I must have watched it more than 50 times over the years, but I never tire of it. The musical quality is very high, the children's singing is tuneful and they obviously enjoyed acting in it. The animation may not be high tech, but it's inventive and fun. Wonderful!

Classic comedy from the talent of Harry Enfield whose characters captured the absolute essence of the 90s; more than ably assisted by Paul Whitehouse & Kathy Burke.
I wish the BBC would release the full series on DVD (& the 2nd series too), but it doesn't look like it will do anytime soon unfortunately. This video is reason enough then to keep the old VCR going!

As a youth I was a great fan and therefore wanted to have a bit of a nostalgia trip. Unfortunately it just didn't do it for me and I think I could have spent my money better. Two stars for the one liners but for nothing else

A beautifully scripted timeless classic that you never grow tired of. Fawlty Towers is the sort of series you can pop into your machine on a rainy sunday afternoon and it will instantly brighten up your day.
John Cleese and Connie Booth remain legend writers for this masterpiece alone.
It you're yet to see an episode and are buying this item, you're in for a treat.

This is a two-tape box set, and is the second half of a series done in 1997 for the BBC and KCET in America. It's a great introduction into the history of World War I. [The other half is called 1914-1918, Total War.]
The series uses historical films, photos, and music to paint the picture of WWI. This part of the series begins in 1917, and traces the last two years of the war, including the first glimmers of protest against the war in Britain; the mutiny of the French army; the revolution in Russia; and the total exhaustion of all the European armies before America entereed the war. The final tape discusses the aftermath of the war, including the silliness of Woodrow Wilson trying to impose his principles at Versailles with ... Read More:

What a wonderful series this was enjoyed and remembered very well by all family members.
We wanted to own a copy on DVD.
We were very surprised indeed when we found that it has not yet to be placed on to the magic of DVD.
Why is this so?
Shame on you BBC please hurry along or the Puffer Para Handy will sink without trace .
Looking forward to a DVD release date in the very near future.

Do yourself a favour and go and get 'Live At The Top Of The Tower'. Then forget about buying any of his other stuff, because essentially, it's the same material. Kay has the least amount of range I've ever known in a stand up comedian. 'Tower' was a genuinely funny release, albeit a little lazy comedically. This is just more of the same from somebody obviously trying to milk the popularity he got off the one good thing he's done.
Nostalgic comedy is pretty cheap at the best of times, but when it's done well it can work. It worked in his last DVD, but this is repetitive and insulting to the fans who deserve something fresh, not repackaged repeats.
