WOW, I bought this on sale for a BARGAIN £4.99. Sure, no extras and crap picture quality, but what do you expect?

I recommend this to any `child of the 80s` like myself for a nostalgia trip. They don`t make `em like they used to.

An excelllent little DVD, I got it for a fiver too, but would pay a tenner for it.

My 7 year old sister thinks its great, and its also suprisingly witty and Kenneth Williams is excellent. Its not the best quality obviously, but compared to some of the crap that is dished out in this day and age it is one title that should be added to your collection.

Makes an excellent evening with some beers and your mates

As a long term fan of Evil Edna I could not believe my eyes when I got this as an additional Christmas present

I had to admit to going straight the last item on the menu (Do Not Touch) and having a good laugh.

Who cares if the audio and video is scratchy - it just adds to the charm of what was, and still is, a classic of British animation, showing off some very clever writing, and the amazing talents of Kenneth Williams who breathes life into all the characters

Its so hard to give this marks really - the Video and Audio are not good but thats not the transfer to DVD - its just how it is.

For those who remember the series on that long gone slot just before the evening news on BBC1 this is a must have - even if its only for watching with your mates when you come home from the pub!!.
