Bless This House is almost the quintessential sitcom staple in that it featured put upon suburbanite stationary salesman Sidney Abbott who longed for a quiet life but had reckoned without the problems of his wife and teenage son and daughter. The show was created by Vince Powell and Harry Driver and Carla Lane was amongst the writers on the show. 
This great 2 disc DVD collection (each volume available separately) contains all of the episodes making up season one (12 in total 6 on each disc) including the seldom early black and white episodes (these make up volume one, thanks to a technicians strike it meant the shows had to be filmed this way although to be fair most viewers at the time wouldn't have cared as the majority of them had black and white TV's).  Sid James was seldom better than his playing here as Sid Abbot and he was ably supported by Diana Coupland as his long suffering wife Jean and the lovely Sally Geeson as his daughter Sally, son Mike was played by Robin Stewart (who ended up his career playing in Australian soaps like The Young Doctors and Sons and Daughters). Extras include extensive production notes, a photo gallery and original ad caps, which is always nice to see.

MAN ABOUT THE HOUSE. This release of the flat sharing sitcom contains the whole of season one revealing how would be chef Robin Tripp (played by Richard O'Sullivan) came to be living with seventies hotties Jo and Chrissy (Sally Thomsett and Paula Wilcox), this being the 70's of course the permissiveness was all in the mind of the viewer. This first series sets up the premise with most of the episodes revolving around Robin trying to get off with Chrissy who of course was having none of it whilst there was always a subplot involving George and the sexually frustrated Mildred. Writers Mortimer and Cooke went on to create the spin off to this show George and Mildred (see below). Extras include production notes, photo gallery and cast biogs. 

George and Mildred. AV and Umbrella continue with their classic uk comedy range by bringing us the complete first season of Man About the House spin-off George and Mildred. There are 10  episodes on the disc detailing how Mildred (played by Yootha Joyce) was determined to move up in society when she and George (played by Brian Murphy) moved onto a new middle class housing estate. The crux of the plotline for most episodes was Mildred's trying to get on with their posh new neighbours the Fourmiles whilst George does his best to scupper Mildred's plans. George and Mildred is a funny show from an era when the ITV network and especially Thames were challenging the BBC in the comedy stakes. Extras include production notes, photo gallery and cast

THE KENNY EVERETT VIDEO SHOW: The Complete Naughty Bits. What a great release this is, all the best bits from Kenny's Thames TV shows and giving us the chance to watch in one hit all the episodes of the fantastic Kaptain Kremmen (this was the little five minute animated space adventure hero segment that appeared each week in Kenny's show) as well as the chance to enjoy the antics of the scantily clad dance troupe Hot Gossip (admittedly these seem a bit tame now but in the late 70's when you were a growing boy the girls from Hot Gossip were fantastic). All the favourite Kenny characters are here from Sid Snot to Marcel Wave, Everett really anticipated the likes of Harry Enfield and the Fast Show with his ongoing characters and catchphrases and this release is very welcome. Extras include original naughty bits trailers, a Kenny biog, production notes, a photo gallery and the afore mentioned chance to watch the Kremmen and Hot Gossip segments

THE VERY BEST OF BENNY HILL. Sadly not Benny at his peak here but a still an opportunity to see the man in action. The two 90 minute episodes on this release are titled Benny Hill's Greatest Hits and The Crazy World of Benny Hill and both date from Benny's difficult early 1980's period when he was being hounded by the UK press for his supposed sexism which now seems very tame in comparison to today's in your face antics of most TV shows. There are though some great moments on this single disc release  including a great take off of the cop show The Bill and it is certainly worth adding to your comedy collection.
