First 3 series in iPlayer. When you start watching there is a warning that it is of its time.

Classic! Ronnie Barker was easily the best comedy actor in my opinion. I'll have to watch it.

Now watched the pilot and up to episode 4 of the first series. The third one A Night In is a classic piece of comedy - a two hander with Barker and Beckinsale, brilliant writing and playing.

And Happy Release in the second series is also beautifully done - with David Jason really nailing the character of Blanco.
