Desmond's - Series 2

Channel 4's classic hit comedy returns for a second series on DVD. Desmond's barber shop, in Peckham, south-east London is the hub of the community's social scene, where you can eat, drink, watch videos, and if you're lucky, even get your hair cut.

Desmond Ambrose is its owner, a self-taught barber who knows only one style - short-back-and-sides. Born in Guyana, he still dreams of going back there to retire, unlike his enterprising wife Shirley, who has successfully crossed the cultural divide with the aid of their three children, Michael, Gloria and Sean.

Not in the UK?

Fear not! Many items can still be ordered. Amazon in the UK delivers to many international territories, whilst their Australia, USA and Canada stores also supply many equivalent or imported items.

If you are in the North America, look out for US/Canadian flag icons on popular product listings for direct links.

If you order from a UK store, please note that the UK is in Region 2 and B, respectively, for DVDs and Blu-rays - check your player's compatibility, or look for multi-region products if you are located in another region.

If you are in Australia or New Zealand (DVD Region 4), note that almost all DVDs distributed in the UK by the BBC and 2entertain are encoded for both Region 2 and Region 4. The UK and Australasia are in the same Blu-ray region (B).
