Synopsis
"A true comedy that has been kept in the vaults for the sake of political correctness." Indeed, this hugely successful 1970s TV comedy, in hindsight, sought to mock our own ignorance, intolerance and pervading racial stereotypes of other cultures, when a black family move in next door to the white family. Jack Smethurst plays Eddie Booth and Rudolph Walker his neighbour Bill Reynolds, whose often hilarious behaviour showed us that perhaps our own bigotted and blinkered views are absolutely laughable. The entire first series plus the pilot episode.

Customer Reviews

Classic 70's sitcom
Long overdue re-release of the hilarious 70's comedy. Deemed offensive but insults are traded equally and Eddie always ends up being made a total fool of. Rudolph Walker is great here as he is in the Thin Blue Line and Eastenders.
Also includes the unseen pilot episode with a different actress playing Eddie's wife Joan. Let's hope all the other series are reissued too.
If you find this sort of comedy offensive then stick with that Jasper Carrott sitcom on BBC1. It is a very 70's comedy (from the sets to the references) and very un-PC, but if you can live with thay you are guarranteed a laugh from one of the UK's most watched comedies of it's day.

IMPORTANT INFO ON LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR DVDS - please read
There are currently 3 boxsets of LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR seasons 1...3 released by Pegasus but they have mucked up the amount of episodes on the second and third one to the buyers advantage. Heres the details

SEASON 1 set - All 7 episodes plus bonus unbroadcast pilot episode

SEASON 2 set - All 6 episodes plus first 4 episodes from SEASON 3

SEASON 3 set - LAST 2 episodes from SEASON 3 plus all 8 episodes SEASON 4 (Season 4 had 8 episodes, 7 normal length and one extended...all included here).

So as you can see, if you buy these 3 season sets you are also getting season 4, crazy the way Pegasus has named the sets but I think its because they initially released the first 2 sets and didnt intend a third so bunged some season 3 episodes on the third one. When they realised they were selling well and should do a third set, they called it SEASON 3 but since most of those episodes were put on series 2 as bonus they put all of season 4 on as well.

It NOW makes sense that we are going to get (from a different company I believe) seasons 5 onwards released on dvd....so dont go BUT WHERES SEASON 4 when you look through the amazon listings, its on the season 3 set! hope this info proves useful, it all confused me until I got my facts straight using a comedy reference book.
