Firemission for the Wife...

[BigBear]

Wife loves old British comedies. She's never seen nor heard of Fawlty Towers. So Firemission requested for BigBear's Wife on Co-AR15!!!

Background:
Fawtly Towers is an old British comedy featuring John Cleese (Monty Python guy). It only ran for a season or two I believe on BBC in the mid 70's.

Recon:
My Google-fu is not up to par, no knowledge available. Can only locate DVD box sets in UK. Not listed in USD$

Mission:
Locate DVD box set of all Fawlty Towers in the USA for purchase. Links would be appreciated.

ETA for completion:
ASAP

Additional Information:
Please request

Loadout:
Pick your own.

That is all, dismissed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I see it in Borders and Barnes & Noble all the time. I don't know what it's like where you are, but both stores near me have a British TV section. Probably way overpriced as all their dvds are.

Good call though. "You can see the sea: it's over there, between the land and the sky." :D

Anybody else remember seeing The Goodies? I have only seen a couple DVD's of their show. If I remember correctly, they ran in the '70's. I remember watching what I thought was reruns (maybe not, don't know) when I got home from school when I was in Jr High around '80. And there was Benny Hill, of course.

[Marlin]

Best Buy has had them in the past..

Only 12 episode,, Complete shame..

[Ed_S]

Are you being Served is also pretty good
The Two Ronnies
The best 'Carry On' movies are the ones with Sid James etc.
Ronnie Barker also did a show where he was a store owner - Open all Hours
The Good Life
Only Fools and Horses

[BigBear]

Yeah, $32 kinda more than I was hoping... I'll check out the local Best Buy etc. Thanks for the help. I'll definitely look into the Carry On movies as well.

A friend has the old show "Keeping up Appearances" that we have been watching. Hilarious stuff.

VHS? What is this VHS you speak of?

[BigBear]

Chad? You pulling my leg? I'll send you a PM with contact info if you're serious. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you, I don't mind giving you a few bucks for them.


Graves, VHS is this big ol' boxy looking thing!! They are weird! HAHA. Yes, I still run VHS.... lol. No point in teh Blue-ray and the 40 inch flatscreen LED 1080 TV until I pay off student loans and finish teh gun collection! lol.

That was filmed near where I lived. I used to regularly drive past the houses used for exterior shots and the gas station that was featured in one episode. I once had a call a couple of houses down the street from the house used as her sister's house in the show.

Not much of a claim to fame but I'll take it.

Ripping Yarns was another good one that came out not long after Monty Python got popular. It had some of the MP cast in it also.

Looks like Amazon is your best bet.

If only there were a way to get all these show for free in a matter of hours...

[Graves]

Can't find them on YouTube?

Some of Billy Elliott was filmed where I used to live but I'm not sure I want to admit to which parts!

[BigBear]
