This is a classic piece of british tv comedy and it never seems to get old, I guess thats why they call it a classic duh. There is great writing and memorable performances to be found and enjoyed over and over. I think that the whole thing has been beautifully crafted and choreographed. Of course some episodes are better than others but in general I dont think this will disappoint. The look of it may seem dated to some but this does not detract from the brilliance of the comedy. Thankfully they made just the right amount unlike many American comedies that are still churning out drivel long after the original spark has died out. On the negative side I think it is overpriced and does not contain any interesting extras but then again what DVD does.
