It's great that this product was made available cheaply and a great price. One of the two DVDs on my previous copy - part of a boxed set - was damaged and wouldn't play. Now I've made up the set again, without having to buy the whole thing. Bob Ferris and Terry Collier - two highly engaging, unforgettable characters, The Likely Lads - from the golden age of British situation comedy.

This series was, in my opinion, one of the classic tv comedies, in an era when there was such a great choice to choose from. The two main characters worked seamlessly together, and each episode was hilarious throughout. Highly recommended!!

When I was a kid in the seventies, "Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads?" or WHTTLL as it became known for short, was just one of many great sitcoms that were the staple viewing during an evening in. Years later, BBC2 repeated it and I saw this wonderful thread running through it that I came to appreciate as a thirty-something adult. There's Bob, with his new house, new car, new friends, new wife, new lifestyle. There's Terry. Back from the army having missed the permissive era to find his environment changed beyond recognition. Neither are happy and desperately try to recreate their youth in an attempt to hang onto the past. Series two has some great episodes. "The Great Race" where they attempt a bicycle race to Berwick as they did when they were lads. "Affairs and Relations" where a fishing trip turns into nightmare. "Between Ourselves" when Terry moves in with the estranged Bob. Great to see all this now on DVD and although the blurb on the back asks for tolerance over quality, they all look as good as I have ever seen them. Now to get series one - "England F?, England flooded out".Read full review
