Not Going Out - Series One, Two, Three, Four & Five (DVD)
BAFTA-winning comedians Lee Mack and Tim Vine star alongside Sally Bretton (The Office, Green Wing), Miranda Hart (Miranda), Megan Dodds (Spooks) and Katy Wix (Torchwood) in the hit BBC One prime-time series Not Going Out.
Series 1: Lee is unburdened by ambition or drive, drifting from one ill-advised job to another, living off the goodwill and generosity of his landlady, Kate (Dodds), a clean living Californian. Meanwhile, his best mate and uptight accountant Tim (Vine), struggles to get over his break-up with Kate and cope with her rapidly blossoming friendship with Lee.
Series 2: Kate has moved out for good and his best mate and now sole landlord, Tim, has put the apartment up for sale. Faced with the prospect of losing the flat, not to mention his well-meaning but utterly useless cleaner Barbara (Hart), Lee rents the spare room to Tim's ambitious younger sister Lucy (Bretton)... Well, sort of.
Series 3: Having developed feelings for Lucy and successfully sabotaging her relationship with her then-boyfriend Guy, Lee still has no significant plans to confront her, and distractions such as pregnancies, insurance scams, and noisy neighbours keep his mind off the bigger picture.
Series 4: Trouble seems to find Lee at every turn. Not only are friends Tim and his ditzy girlfriend Daisy (Wix) on hand to cause problems, but Lee also has to cope with stolen drugs, missing OAPs, long-lost daughters and a coma.
Series 5: Lee continues to get into all sorts of scrapes and sticky situations in his eagerness to please and impress the object of his affections. But will a drunken experiment with Lucy show once and for all that love really is in the air or will it just lead to more mayhem and mishaps?

Pauline's Quirkes - The Complete Series (DVD)
Pauline's Quirkes, a light-hearted, provocative magazine-style show for teenagers, provided an early showcase for the talents of one of Britain's best-loved stars. After playing a leading role in Thames's You Must Be Joking!, the 16-year-old Pauline took centre-stage in this teatime spin-off series, presenting a lively mix of comedy sketches, music and features.
Teen pop idols Flintlock provided the songs while unleashing outbreaks of hysteria among the studio audience, and Pauline's co-presenters included her future Birds Of A Feather co-star Linda Robson. Irreverent, often surprisingly risqué humour (usually at the expense of the Flintlock boys) and discussion of the pressing issues of the day (should boys be allowed to wear skirts to school?) raised eyebrows and blazed a trail for a new kind of show aimed at teenage audiences. This set contains the complete series, also featuring DJs Mike Read and Steve Wright, and master magician Ali Bongo.

Rings On Their Fingers - The Complete Series One (DVD)
Take a step back in time to 1970s England. The full force of Women's Lib hadn't quite filtered through to suburbia; Margaret Thatcher had yet to take over Number 10; and while living together wasn't the sin it once was and women were free to both work and run the home, a girl still wanted a ring on her finger. At least this girl did!
Sandy has started dropping hints to Oliver that she would rather be married than go on living together, and thus begins a hit comedy series that would run for three popular series. With Oliver convinced that he must marry Sandy or lose her, the couple soon find themselves embroiled in a world of wedding plans, wedding gifts, honeymoons and coming home to realise that... they re married! Nothing is as simple as it should be when a couple happily living together suddenly find themselves with Rings On Their Fingers. This release features the complete first series and the 1978 Christmas special.

Sez Les - Volume Four (DVD)
Sez Les was the show that firmly established Les Dawson's reputation, running for over seven years and bringing his dour, miserablist humour to a wider viewing public. Now you can rejoin the gloomy king of comedy and an array of favourite comic characters in this fourth volume, comprising series nine to eleven, along with a best of compilation show first screened in 1974.
Featuring a running guest spot for comedy legend John Cleese alongside stalwart sideman Roy Barraclough, these shows offer more world-weary humour and hilarious sketches, with death-defying stunts and sleight of hand by the likes of The Great Roberto, Superflop, The Great Magico and Man of Steel. Cosmo Smallpiece is on typically lecherous form, gossiping Lancashire housewives Cissie and Ada find plenty to natter about, and we meet the dismal Desponts - TV's dullest family. Les's many guests include Dana, Henry Cooper, Clodagh Rogers, Freddie Trueman, Lynsey de Paul and Cyril Smith, MP.

You Must Be Joking! - The Complete Series (DVD)
In 1973, a one-off Magpie film looked at London's streets and markets through the eyes of children attending Islington's Anna Scher Children's Theatre. Showing how the children interpreted daily life in their drama classes, Kids About Town caught the eye of producer Roger Price (The Tomorrow People), who suggested the Anna Sher kids be given their own series. "You must be joking!" replied the controller of children's programming; "That's what we'll call it", suggested Roger...
A wry, energetic and irreverent comedy show of a kind never previously seen and certainly not one for the easily offended. You Must Be Joking! duly launched an unknown bunch of kids onto the TV screen. Led by writer-performers Ray Burdis and John Blundell, and featuring future BAFTA winner (and drama academy founder) Pauline Quirke, the talented teenagers were 'supervised' by comedian and long-suffering lone adult Jim Bowen. In between topical and satirical sketches, Elvis Payne took a cynical look at the week's news, and live music came from youthful popsters Flintlock, led by the multi-talented Michael Holoway. Many of the show's stars would go on to enjoy successful careers in television.

Ernie's forced to view Eric's holiday slides, Eric takes an IQ test, there's a display of skilled puppetry, and the artistes show they ve kept abreast of the times by trying a new intimate approach to the audience...

Casanova '73 (DVD)
One of Britain's greatest comedy icons, Leslie Phillips, stars in the lost TV comedy classic Casanova '73 as footloose - if not fancy free - Henry Newhouse, alongside Jan Holden as his long-suffering wife.
Taking advantage of the sexual revolution, Henry happily philanders, or attempts to philander, at every opportunity, sometimes successfully - never without a price. Whether it's an air hostess or beauty pageant contestant, a stripper turned fire-eater or a niece in need of advice, what Henry sees, Henry can't resist.
Written by the acclaimed team of Galton and Simpson (Hancock's Half Hour, Steptoe & Son, Citizen James), the series was inspired by Dennis Potter's more-serious, if more naked, Casanova. Little did they realise the scandal that would result when TV watchdog Mary Whitehouse rallied her troops. Casanova '73 would not see '74.
Now, for the first time on DVD, audiences can once again enjoy Leslie Phillips at the top of his form, bringing his theatrically-honed skills to Casanova '73, filmed before a live audience, with all the hilarity of 70s British farce at its height.
Includes all 7 episodes from the series, an exclusive new interview with Leslie Phillips, a picture gallery, cast filmographies, and Galton & Simpson themselves on Casanova '73.

Friday Night Dinner - Series 1 (DVD)
Eccentric relations, bizarre behaviour, cringing embarrassment... It's just a family tradition.
Twenty-something brothers Adam and Jonny return to the family home each week for a Jewish Friday night dinner of soup, chicken and crumble - plus massive side-orders of wind-ups and bickering. With a Masterchef-obsessed Mum; Dad eating from the rubbish bin; Grandma wearing her new bikini around the house, and Jim the neighbour who's terrified of his own dog, it's a feat of endurance. And that's before the concerns about Jonny's "made-up" girlfriend and Dad's non-stop requests for Adam to find a "female" on the Internet. Of course, every family has its foibles, its rituals and its eccentricities. It's just that the Goodmans have made something of an art form of theirs...
Special features include:

A.J. Wentworth, B.A. - The Complete Series (DVD)
In his final TV role, Arthur Lowe (Dad's Army, Pardon The Expression) plays a popular but old-fashioned mathematics master attempting and largely failing to keep order among the unruly boys of Form IIIA at Burgrove Preparatory School, in the fictional rural town of Wilminister.
Set in the 1940s, A.J. Wentworth, B.A. skillfully adapts the writings of H.F. Ellis which first appeared in diary form in Punch and later in The New Yorker, before being published in book form; the character of the beleaguered schoolmaster, played to perfection by Lowe, was inspired by Ellis's own experiences as a teacher.
The mild-mannered, accident-prone Mr. Wentworth shows an unceasing dedication to the school and its reputation. But he has two major adversaries to deal with: Burgrove's headmaster, the snobbish Reverend R. G. Saunders (Harry Andrews), better known as 'Squid' by the pupils, and the formidable, frequently combative Matron (Marion Mathie Lucia)...

Astronauts - The Complete Series (DVD)
Two men, one woman and a dog are cooped up together in darkest space. Occupying a two-room 'sky-lab' on Britain's first manned space mission, they are under constant surveillance as they orbit the Earth - even on their visits to the lavatory. Tensions simmer, resentment builds and relationships become strained... and it's not long before they're ganging up on their earthbound American contact at Mission Control.
Written by Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie, this comedy was inspired by and based upon actual conflicts documented by the astronauts of the NASA Skylab programme. Christopher Godwin is Mission Commander Malcolm Mattocks, Barrie Rutter is his truculent partner David Ackroyd, and Carmen du Sautoy is no-nonsense Science Officer Gentian Foster; Bruce Boa stars as their much-abused mission controller, Beadle.
Astronauts was produced by Tony Charles and Douglas Argent (whose combined credits include Fawlty Towers and The New Statesman), with Dick Clement and Ian Le Frenais acting as script editors. This 2-disc set contains both series, first aired between 1981 and 1983.
