Best Donkey Parts?
A fairly representative selection of episodes from a time just a decade ago when comedies had to have jokes to be thought funny.
The satirical barbs are to me slightly less enduring than the character interplay. (Hard to believe now that Virginia Bottomley and Peter Lilley were once deemed worthy of satire!)
This selection of episodes suggests why this show was so good, but makes me demand whole series DVDs, rather than isolated shows that don't show how characters were subtly developed as years passed. (Superb writing by Hamilton and Jenkin.)
Great shame we don't get the Christmas party classic, or the paintball episode, but the clips included as extras wet the appetite for a complete collection. How about it? -
