Advantages: Best comedy ever!!!!
Disadvantages: Not many extras, but hey, what more could you possibly want

As far as british comedy goes, I would go as far as saying this is unbeatable, from the moment you begin watching you will fall in love with the loveable rogues and follow their journey through the years as they try absolutely every scam in the book to make a fast buck. You could also watch these episodes over and over again which suggests how good this is. The box set is a must have for any fan out there.... Read review
