Lovejoy - Complete Series 3 (DVD)

Advantages: hilarious comedy from the trotter brothers, unforgettable moments
Disadvantages: none

...ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES - THE COMPLETE SERIES 3 Originally transmitted: 10/11/1983 - 25/12/1983 For anyone who has never watched Only Fools and Horses you are missing out on a wonderful part of our television history. Only Fools and Horses follows the lives of the two Trotter brother, Derek and Rodney as they try to earn a living in every way that they can. Unfortunately, more often than not this is through, shall we say, "alternative" means. The comedy is based around Peckham in South London and when the show first started, nobody even thought how successful it was to become.

These days, I would say that most people in Britain have at least heard of Del and Rodney Trotter, and most will... Read review

Disadvantages: Nothing

...Gimme, Gimme,Gimme. A Great British comedy. One of the funniest British comedies in the last decade. The plot is very simple; Linda shares a flat with Tom.

Once described as a slapper on Viagra, she is a real man-eater. Believing herself to be utterly beautiful, she is often confused by people's attitude to her looks and loud clothes. A red perm and lycra wardrobe sum her up. Later in series 3 she will be disagnosed with reversed body dysmorphic disorder, which explains a lot. Olive from "On the buses" after a night on the beer would best describe her. But sadly, all she wants is to be loved. TOM = Tom is a great big Puff, (according to Linda... Read review

Advantages: Hilariously funny and unforgettable
Disadvantages: None

...I purchased this box set after watching the series on TV. It is orignal, witty and hilariously funny and seems to have been written by someone who has direct knowledge of running a bookshop. My parents owned a bookshop before their retirement and many of the situations in this show struck a chord. My mother often felt the need to chase out the customers with a broom although thankfully never gave into the urge, My step father was once astonished to see a woman come into the shop, take a cookery book off the shelf and remove a pad and pen from her bag. She proceeded to stand in front of my poor speechless stepfather and copy out a receipe only to replace the book when she had finished and leave the shop. The phrase from the show "time wasting bstds" definitely rang some bells here. I think the show is set on the outskirts... Read review
