Reckon this is any good?

The Only Fools and Horses DVD Collection:
http://www.onlyfoolsdvd.com/index.php

It was out a while ago if I recall and I regret getting it back then. But it's going to be £7.99 every fortnight and run for 29 issues. This is quite excessive, and I have a few on DVD already but by no means them all. And by the looks of things, the running order is a bit suspect as series one runs over two discs with the 1981 Christmas Special tagged at the beginning of the third before the second series. So, yes series are split over two discs it seems, unlike the proper BBC releases (though this is endorsed by the BBC) And what happens by the time we get to 50 minute episodes? Two per disc? Not sure if it seems better than £19.99 a throw for the offical releases. And I've heard bad stories about these publications before as as soon as one ot two of the issues are published, they become rather hard to find on the shelves unless you subscribe.

Failing that, just get a VHS out, it's on every bloody night anyway. ;)

You should discover the magic of the public lending library. Get the videos out, copy them. Not quite free, but very cheap.

Why do the BBC keep chucking out videos and discs of that awful show? The only DVD partwork worth buying was that of "The Prisoner", but I believe it got cancelled.

Talking of libraries, I really should have copied that Catweazle video with the documentary on when I had the chance!
