A brilliant series, inexplicably never mentioned.

I was beginning to despair that there was anybody who remembered this series, let alone loved it! With the acting talent of both Richard Briers and Michael Gambon, and written by the brilliant Esmonde and Larbey - how could it have never re-surfaced? I have been hoping it would come out on DVD, as sadly I really can't remember it that well now. I just remember it being one of the very best sitcoms I ever saw. It was intelligent and witty - probably too much so for the audience at the time. I just hope they didn't wipe all the tapes, so there is still a chance we might see it again. I am amazed how well sthom-1 remembers the plot lines! Please, BBC, release the DVD, and make some people very happy. You might even find a new appreciative audience now.
