Great value for money. Not watched yet

BRILLIANT DVD SET 1974

Absolute classic show. Love it.Some people have left negative reviews due to missing episodes, these are “lost episodes” so are not available regularly. However they can be found in the extras section on the DVD in lower quality.

I doubt if you would buy this without knowing the tv programe. Therefore, it is what it says it.All discs in perfect condition with excellent audio/visual quality

It's remarkable to think that this comedy series is now some 40 years old. It ran for a staggering seven years which is a very long time for a comedy. There are 56 episodes on here which is really too many and some editing of the poorer episodes would have been beneficial.My father was in the RAF, in India & Burma in WW11, I recall Mum & Dad chortling over this programme - It clearly had a special meaning to my Dad.Of course it seems a bit slap stick and dated now in places but as I make my way through it I have had so many `laugh out loud' moments and I'm constantly smiling! It's lovely to watch it all again, though clearly it's going to take a long while to get through it all. Even the non - PC bits just blend in and I didn't find them offensive at all - that's how it was, so just deal with it. Of course we don't want that today but it was war and that was the least of their worries I should think.Sadly some of the actors have now passed away though the star of the show for me, Windsor Davies, is still here at 83! He isn't in fact Welsh? He was born in Canning Town, London.Also, interestingly, La -Di -Dah Gunner Graham was actually born in India!Davies is just wonderful in this and yet was only a co-star, though he clearly stole the show, and what a wonderland voice the much maligned `Lofty' had? This is great fun and still superior to some of the rubbish on these days. The BBC really is frightened of its own shadow in not repeating this series.

A great British comedy show

I always enjoyed this comedy series at the time it was originally shown - and I thought it was a good idea to buy this DVD box set so I could watch it again whenever I wanted to! It's still as hilariously funny now as it was was back in the day!

It was a gift and they loved it...all discs clean

Series just as I remembered. I have to say the case is good and the way the DVDs are presented with a single DVD per plastic page like a book, rather than multiple DVDs in a case, makes it easier to look after and protect the individual DVDs. Hard to explain, but it would be good if all DVD series came in this format.

Alles Super Danke!

Gillar serien. Kul 70-tals serie

Private enjoyment

To start, keep in mind two things: these are from a relatively old English series dealing with the English presence in India, and it's not particularly offensive but a bit touchy in today's enlightened times for some people; and these are mastered for a different region from North American. The latter is easily solved if you have one of the region-free DVD players (there are several excellent region-free Sony Bluray players available here on Amazon, and I have two that work flawlessly on these DVDs).The video transfers show the age of the masters, with 4:3 aspect ration, but that's to be expected. The video and audio is fine for a series from the 80s. There's nine DVDs in the set, representing everything the series contained, including specials. I remember watching this on BBC (and in Canada) as a much younger person, laughing at Windsor Davis' portrayal of a Sergeant Major, and Gunner "Gloria", so watching the series again brought back a lot of great memories. And these videos are still funny, although some of the humour will appeal only to those with an English sense of humour, perhaps. Overall, a delightful trip down memory lane, and a great buy at this price for a classic British comedy.
