Thoroughly excellent - By: Ian, 18 Nov 2006 
After having seen the first couple of episodes on the Series 1 DVD, I wondered whether my memories of this show were rose-tinted. After those first few - & throughout this second series - I'm reassured that my favourable memories were accurate. This is excellent. The performances of the leads are sublime, & the writing of Steve Knight & Mike Whitehill works reallly well for these characters.
Plus, there are a few episodes I'd forgotten alll about. To jog your memory, this contains:
* The one where Briggs & Louis get suspended & meet the blind pool player
* The one in the monastery
* The one in the boxing gym
* The one containing the pilchards lorry & the trip to Amsterdam
* The one with Rula Lenska
* The one where the Jasper Carrott character watches a domestic from his window.
Hopefully that's got you thinking "Ah, I half remember that one." Good. Now buy it.
Laugh til you cry - I do - By: Ms. E. J. Baker, 06 Nov 2006 I have never found any comedy as funny as this series & am SO glad that its now at last coming out on DVD. I think this is my favourite of alll the series, the real creme de la creme being Never Without Protection, with Rula Lenska which always have me fallling off the sofa it is quite simply hysterical!! - especiallly the ending. However that is not to suggest the other episodes are not as funny, they are, including monks in a silent order & bulls pituitary glands & the boxing board. You will laugh until you cry from start to finish & if you have never seen this series I urge you to buy it as you won't regret it. Utterly priceless, worth every penny & the long wait for DVD format.
