As Time Goes By - Series 5 DVD

Advantages: Funny, original for you My Family fans!
Disadvantages: The series has a hole in as the Xmas episode does not exist

.... In this series is an episode where Ben has been announced dead in a newspaper, Susan refuses to sleep with Ben until he writes her a poem and Michael starts to get interested in girls. The funniest part of this series has to be when Susan walks in on Michael and a girl in bed and goes 'hysterically blind'. She has to convince the family that she can see so Abbey leaves different smelling objects around the house so she can find her way around. Janies is not in the sseries at all. However, Abbey brings the comedy back up to pace with her antics and wit. This is not the best of the series, but I do look forward to series 5 being released. This dvd set is definately worth the money.... Read review

The show like all good comedy's has some very lovable characters; Tommy, the miserable old sod who goes to the pub to avoid loneliness at home, then sits on his own; Eddie , the boring bloke in the corner who spends his life talking about traffic congestion and Jean , Kens(landlord) mum who eats his profits away , quite literally. I really do recommend this DVD to all comedy lovers out there, Series 2 is currently been re-shown on BBC 1 on Thursday nights at 10:45 so take a look at this genius... Read review
