ONLY WHEN I LAUGH THE COMPLETE SERIES
Shock DVD /4 disc set / Released April 2008
Featuring James Bolam, Peter Bowles, Christopher Strauli, Richard Wilson,
Made for the UK's ITV Network (running from 1979-82) and screened over here on the ABC, Only When I Laugh is one of ITV's biggest sitcom successes, the whole series is being released this month in a four disc box set by Shock and to celebrate we have five copies for you to win.
Written by Eric Chapell (who was also the man behind arguably ITV's most popular sitcom ever, Rising Damp) and starring both James Bolam and Peter Bowles (who at the time were probably Britain's most popular actors - Bolam had just been appearing in When The Boat Comes In and Bowles was also appearing in To The Manor Born).
Set in a men's ward in an NHS hospital, the show followed three long term residents, lorry driver Roy Figgis (a kind of distant cousin of Bolam's legendary Likely Lads creation Terry Collier), the upper-class Archie Glover (Bowles) and mummy's boy Norman Binns (played by Christopher Strauli). Looking after them was Richard Wilson in the shape of Dr Gordon Thorpe, the trio were in for the long run but they didn't seem to have too much wrong with them other than a bad case of hypochondria.
Well remembered and well liked Only When I Laugh is a very funny show indeed.
We have 5 copies of Only When I Laugh The Complete Series to give away and to win one all you have to do is tell us which show Richard Wilson is most well known for.
The Competition runs until 28 April 2008.
