Customer Reviews

An excellent review of British humour
This collection gives an excellent review of British post-war humour.It is a treasure trove of comedy gems that have inspired lots of modern comedy shows and performers. Leave it in the car or take it on holiday as you can dip into each cassette and find yourself entertained for hours.As a fortysomething these cassettes highlight great comedy moments from various stages of my life. A must for anybody of any age

As essential for the Car as the A-Z.
I found this a totally enjoyable collection, and whats more for me it was educational, I knew some of the comedy shows featured, such as Round the Horne, but I had no idea that Men from the Ministry was still so good, and that it led to Yes Minister.

I really like the format of the decades, you certainly can see how British comedy has developed over time.

I really liked the strong box that it is in, very good for keeping in the back seat of the car and when you start to get fed up in traffic, just slot in one of these tapes.

I just wish the BBC will bring out a second edition of more collections like this.
