Every episode from six classic television sitcoms starring comedian Ronnie Barker. The collection includes 'Open All Hours' (Series 1-4), 'Porridge' (Series 1-3 plus the Christmas specials), 'Going Straight' (all six episodes), 'Clarence' (all six episodes), 'Seven of One' (all seven episodes) and 'The Magnificent Evans' (all seven episodes).

In 1978, after three series, two Christmas specials and a full-length feature film of Porridge, writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais finally released Fletcher from prison. Going Straight went on to win a BAFTA and attract an audience of over 15 million.

Fletch is out. After spending three years, eight months and four days at Her Majesty's pleasure, the old lag is out of Slade Prison on parole. However, life on the outside is not going to be easy - he even finds Mr McKay in the buffet car of his train home.

Will his carefully buried nest egg still be there? Will he be able to manipulate his family (including a 17-year-old son - played be Nicholas Lyndhurst) as easily as the gullible Slade Prison lags? Will he welcome old cell-mate, Lenny Godber, now a long-distance lorry driver dating his daughter Ingrid? Or will the delights of freedom make him yearn for the company of thieves, fraudsters and even screws?

Ronnie Barker has long been known as one of Britain's greatest comedy performers. But he was also responsible for writing much of the material he performed, often hiding the fact from the public by using a number of pen names. Showcasing the complete work of a true comic icon, All I Ever Wrote is a laugh-out-loud collection of sketches, monologues, songs, poems and scripts from every strand of Ronnie's long and brilliant career. With gems like 'Fork Handle's,' Three Classes' and 'Pismonouncers Unanimous', Ronnie's clever writing, double entendres and spoonerisms will bring a smile to your face, as you rediscover some of the twentieth century's finest comedy moments.

From 1971 to 1987, and over the course of 12 series and eight specials, The Two Ronnies became one of the great television comedy shows. Millions of viewers lapped up the sketches of doctors' surgeries, middle-class parties, government ministry broadcasts as well as the regular news headlines, Ronnie Corbett monologues, Ronnie Barker word-play sketches and fabulous comic songs. This selection features some of the best of these including:

• The Short-sighted Optician
• The Ministry for Sex Equality (with Ronnie Barker in half-suit, half-dress!)
• The Plumstead Ladies Male Voice Choir
• News at Ton (something amiss with the newsroom typewriter)

All seven episodes from the first series of the BBC television comedy written by and starring Ronnie Barker, set in 1937. Clarence (Barker) is a short-sighted removals man, who spends more time bumping into things than actually delivering them. Then he bumps into prim housemaid Jane Travers (Josephine Tewson), who changes his bumbling life in ways he can't imagine.

A tribute to a legendary duo from the golden age in television variety.

From 1971 to 1987, and over the course of twelve series and eight specials, The Two Ronnie's was one of the nation's favourite television comedy shows. The show was practically an institution, with Christmas and Easter holidays only really being complete for most families, with a Two Ronnie's special. This compilation features favourite sketches from sixteen years of the much-loved and much-missed programme, including:

• The Vagabond Lover (before he died of drink, women and horses)
• Swedish Made Simple
• Mastermind (answering the question before last)
• The St. Botolph's Country Dance Team

Big screen spin-off of the BBC's popular Seventies sitcom. Habitual criminal Norman Stanley Fletcher (Ronnie Barker) is currently 'doing porridge' at Slade prison, but only has a year to go. He and cellmate Lennie Godber (Richard Beckinsale, who sadly died shortly after filming was completed) are content to bide their time - until they accidentally become involved in an escape plan while playing a morale-raising football match against a 'celebrity' team. Desperate not to ruin their chances of parole, Fletcher and Godber find themselves in the unusual position of trying to break back into prison without being caught!

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett's magnificent partnership became a cherished British institution. Their Christmas Specials were particularly eagerly awaited and, for many, they were the highlight of the festive television schedules. The 1987 Christmas Special proved to be The Two Ronnies last ever full show together, but by then they had left so many cherished memories.

The Christmas Specials featured extra special guests - such as Elton John, David Essex and Elaine Paige - and great Christmas fun, as well as the regular Two Ronnies fare of the opening and closing new headlines, party, allotment and pub sketches and Ronnie Corbett's shaggy dog monologues.

This collection will bring back all the memories of those shows including such highlights as Chas and Dave; The Milkman's Christmas Address To The Nation; Christmas Day In The Ukon; Game For A Trial; The Tree - an Extra-Festival encounter of the Christmas Kind and Pinnochio II - Killer Doll.
