Ah loved that BFR plus Ducktails. EastTerrace that must have set you back a bundle. I looked at Northern Exposure boxset & Magnum box sets last year & they wanted silly money.
Dear John by John Sullivan, great lines such as 'any sexual problems' and the cool guy Kurt.
This - very underrated JS comedy. Whenever I split up with a girlfriend, my unsympathetic brother would lower his voice and ask with fake concern 'any...sexual problems?' Kurt had it about right, after yet another rejection - 'if you don't want my peaches, then don't shake my tree.' Good stuff.

I imagine it would look very dated as it was so current but the writing, puppets and impressions were brilliant. I think as a teenager it made me interested in politics.
I can't remember for the life of me what it was called but years ago there was a late night programme about a gang of workmen and their ongoing battles with the Clerk of Works and when they were in trouble they would say "one call on Figaro we all call on Figaro."
Perhaps it was called Figaro but it was a nice relaxing piece of late night whimsy anyway.
This was called "Big Jim and the Figaro Club". It was a cult BBC2 success, but only 6 episodes were ever made. It was originally a one-off TV play, set in the 1950s.

This! - I knew more about who was in the cabinet when I was at school than any time since. Seriously funny program. 2DTV came close to replicating it, that should be shown/made again
Boys from the Blackstuff : original play that the series was based on. The Prisoner: Yes I know you can buy it on dvd.... Breadwinner Hog, hard to remember it, but thought it was very good. Anything on Tony Hancock. Gangsters: Maurice Colbourne BBC series. Ready Steady Go But of course as no surprise to anyone: Dusty Springfield show with Jimi Hendrix, first playing of Voodoo Chile Slight return, and dedicates 'Stone free' to Brian Jones, and duets with Dusty Springfield 'Mockingbird' there is only an old scratchy fan video apparently.....
I think ready steady go was repeated in the 90s, because my mum video'd it and got all is kids hooked on 60s music. Proper education that!
(btw which Hendrix show was it when he interrupted hey joe with a badass version of sunshine of your love? I need to see that again)

Definitely , Ive been trying to get it on DVD............. you cant ,so I had to do with a Spike compilation that I watched at work last night .A very funny man ,and mad completely mad .
Gawd no me & probs most of my friends would always choose the guy that played Aidan. Plus I already had a thing for him being a fan of Northern Exposure. Big's role in it was as a salad shuffler. Carrie to me was the only wet character lol

A few years ago they used to show 'Allo 'Allo repeats in Barbados. Bemusement was the common local reaction.
Z Cars.
I paid about a fiver less but still good price (about £6 a series for Maggie O'Connell)
Nice packaging but just the normal dvds inside it (they could have jazzed it up a bit), great value though.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Monty Pythons.
