By
popular demand, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide is releasing even more classics from
the golden age of comedy to add to your collection. These are some
of the finest comedies ever to have been made and have since been
an inspiration to many comedians and writers.
This
is the first time that Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide has released on DVD the much
anticipated and hugely popular The Best of Cook and Moore, two of
the most revered comedians in the history of British comedy.
Yes
Minister Series 3
Anyone
who has ever fallen foul of officialdom, red tape or vote-seeking
politicians will love this satirical comedy. A worldwide favourite
seen in over 80 countries, during its heyday, British Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher used to ask the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ for a video whenever she missed
an episode.
Government
ministers come and go, but Civil Servants are in the Ministry forever.
Therefore it is the job of every responsible Government bureaucrat
to ensure that meddling politicians do not rock the boat. Few politicians
ever realise that the staff they employ regard them as the enemy.

Justice; Rough Justice; Pardon Me; A test Of Character; Final Stretch

All Hours Series 2
Brown-coated,
stuttering, penny-pinching Arkwright keeps his corner-shop open

his passions - parting unsuspecting customers from their hard-earned
cash, keeping his day-dreaming nephew Granville in line and tirelessly
pursuing buxom nurse Gladys Emmanuel.
Open
All Hours shows Ronnie Barker's acting skills at their finest and
paired with a young, fresh-faced David Jason and Lynda Baron, all
seven episodes of this series are all-time favourites.

The
Best of Cook and Moore
Peter
Cook and Dudley Moore were a major part of the new comedy era in
the '60s and '70s. When the pair wrote and conceived Not Only But
Also a great partnership developed. Not Only But Also gave rise
to the famous Dagenham Dialogues of Pete and Dud and included other
gems such as One Leg Too Few and Sir Arthur Streeb Greebling.
There
were three series of this brilliant programme, which ran between
1965 - 1970 and half the charm of the show is the ad-libs from Cook
and Moore's reaction to the scripts Β… while trying to hold
the laughter back.
