    Default Firemission for the Wife...

    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."

    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.

    The Two Ronnies
    The best 'Carry On' movies are the ones with Sid James etc.

    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.
