British TV at its best
This is a gem and one of the best written, finest acted shows ever made. If you remember it from the 80's then see it again because it's every bit as good as it was. If you've never seen it - do yourself a favour and watch it - and ponder why tv never reaches such heights these days.

Geordie comedy still makes us laugh
As kids, we both remember this series. Even though it's being shown on just about every other cable channel, it was definitely worth renting out.
It took time to get into the accents, as many of the scenes take place on building sites or in bars and clubs, but that aside, there is some touching moments, especially with the fantastic Timothy Spall as the hapless brummie, Barry.
Thorougly enjoyable, although not sure the rest of the series will be hired. -
