Flywheel, Shyster & Flywheel - The Complete Series 1-3
A BBC radio recreation of the Marx Brothers' lost shows, starring Michael Roberts and Frank Lazarus.
First broadcast on America's NBC network between 1932-33, Flywheel, Shyster And Flywheel charted the exploits of shady lawyer Waldorf T Flywheel (played by Groucho Marx) and his dopey assistant, Emmanuel Ravelli (played by Chico Marx). The original recordings were lost, but the scripts were rediscovered in 1988 and adapted and rerecorded by BBC Radio 4 in 1990-92 in front of a live studio audience.
Fast-paced and full of quickfire gags, the show proved a hit, winning a gold medal at the New York International Festival in 1992.

If ordering from a UK store, please note that you are in Region 1 (DVD)/Region A (Blu-ray), whilst the UK is in Region 2/B, respectively. This means that many - but by no means all - may fail to play. Look for products marked "Region free", "All regions", "Region 0" or "Multi-region". Blu-rays may also be marked "Region A/B/C", "Region free", or variations thereof. You may also check whether your DVD/Blu-ray player supports multi-region playback (also referred to as "region free"), or whether it can be set to do so. There should, of course, be no problems with books, CDs, or other physical items.
