In the world of work, there is one place where seniority means nothing, where shoptalk is banned, and where the persecuted minority gather regularly to discuss every subject under the sun - the smoking room. Set entirely in the smoking room of a large company, this series explores the personal foibles and suppressed longings of an oddly assorted bunch of characters. These individuals wouldn't normally even socialise together, but their shared love of nicotine provides a tenuous link between them all. There's the smoking-room fixture with a passion for the postboy; the grouchy security guard; the thick-skinned office Romeo; the terminally paranoiac; the divorcee enjoying a new adolescence; an entirely self-centered emotional wreck; the boss who wants to be popular; and the voice of reason among all the madness. Contains every episode from Series 1 and 2.

Welcome to Holmfirth, a breathtakingly beautiful village in the heart of the West Yorkshire Dales, home to our three favourite idiosyncratic, retired gentlemen, as well as the BBC's longest running comedy series. Here we meet these one-time school chums - Compo, Clegg and Foggy - long since left school, but now enjoying a mischievous second childhood, devising and executing a multitude of (grey) hair brained schemes. Which is just what you'd expect from Britain's oldest, if not wisest adolescents. Helped by a supporting band of formidable wives, hen-pecked husbands, sexually-charged mistresses, inventors, pigeon fanciers and balding lotharios, our three heroes are never far from one adventure or another. And with the likes of a Christmas celebration in the middle of a sweltering hot summer, the installation of a new bell for the cafe door and the retrieval of a wandering ferret from its new-found home in Nora Batty's house, as always, there's plenty of room for disaster too.
Del, Rodney and Uncle Albert return in this 1993 Christmas special. While Rodney (Nicholas Lyndhurst) is worn out by Cassandra's rigorous baby-making schedule, Del's (David Jason) relationship with Raquel has hit a rocky patch. When Del begins to romance a dental receptionist, Rodney attempts to effect a reconciliation with Raquel, but the Peckham riots might put paid to his best efforts.
The entire second series of the US sitcom (based in the bar where everybody knows your name) following the love-hate romance between Sam (Ted Danson) and Diane (Shelley Long), the hate-hate relationship between Carla (Rhea Perlman) and Cliff (John Ratzenberger), and the indestructible love affair between Norm (George Wendt) and his pint.
Spike Milligan, remembered for his turn in 'The Goons' and his 'Q' series' from the 1960s to the 1980s, looks back at his career with his tongue buried firmly in his cheek. Playing along with the camera crew's 'surprise' visit to his home, he quickly turns the situation to his surreal advantage and revels in his own lunatic humour whilst reviewing years of influential and crazy humour.
Second in the final 'Only Fools and Horses' trilogy originally broadcast over Christmas 1996. Cassandra is pregnant, Rodney applies for a new job. Del, meanwhile is attempting to convert himself into a 'new man' - he's reading a book and everything.
Del and Rodney are bankrupt again so when the opportunity to go France and visit a wine warehouse arises it seems to be a good idea. Unfortunately things don't go to plan - they manage to bring back an illegal immigrant and accidently become the internationally-hunted 'Gary Gang'.
The entire second series of Ben Elton's anarchic comedy. In 'Bambi', the boys get to go on 'University Challenge', while 'Nasty' sees Neil taking to wearing a dress. In 'Time', it looks like Rik has finally scored with a member of the opposite sex. In 'Cash', plates keep disappearing in the house. Must be a poltergeist. 'Interesting' sees a visit from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, while in 'Summer Holiday', the boys finish college and head off on a big red bus.
What is an ordinary couple? Here, as six relationships are put under the microscope of the camera, the universal themes of sex, power, illness, perversion and hair loss are dramatically revealed. AN ENGLISH SQUEAK: The apparently bucolic artisto-existence of Peter and Flick is shadowed by an ailment on her part that makes physical intimacy impossible. SLITHER IN: "Ignorance is bliss, that to me is the beauty of a coma." B&B owners Gordon and Sheila fit their swinging lifestyle alongside looking after Sheila's bedridden sister. ALL OVER MY GLASSES: Michelle and Stephen are planning their wedding day. The first dance is R-Kelly's Bump and Grind and there's five boxes of Doritos for the reception. STRAIGHT AS A FLUTE: When not making curly sausage casseroles for the vicar, Beverley and Tony survey their neighbour's Satan-inspired garden and tell of life under the full gaze of the Lord. HAIRLESS: "My songs are like my children" says singer Fonte. "Yet they're also like my parents or a special uncle, who is particularly friendly at Christmas time. MORE THAN HAPPY: "You hear of people who have all sorts of sexual hang-ups.... and I'm one of them" Les's optimism has carried him and Ray through eight traumatic married years. |
