This has always been one of my favourite comedy series. It's perfectly cast and the timing is just superb. From Trigger (Roger Lloyd Pack) calling Rodney "Dave" and not getting any jokes, a bit like Alice on the Vicar Of Dibley to Del Boy Calling Rodney a "Plonker" and Boycie's silly laugh. If you've seen them once, you can watch each and every episode again almost until you memorise the comedy. Who will forget Del Boy, out on the town and feeling cocky trying to impress some girls only to find the barman swings back the part of the bar in order to get out that Del Boy was leaning on and Del Boy leans back, this time falling over, drink in hand! Or the Batman and Robin sketch, turning up to that party, and then the chandeliers. Very funny and will always be so. This was a Christmas present and I have never stopped watching these episodes.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
