Slightly off topic but Peter Kay is providing the entertainment for a private special bash to celabrate 50 years of SPAR in September, for the shop owners to attend.

Also re: Peter Kay, I read last week he was writing a new series with Craig Cash (The Royal Family) about bin men which they'll both also star in.

There was one really awful sitcom made by Carlton London called "Is It Legal?" on ITV 3 back in March. Surely they have far superior programmes in their vaults?

Also re Men Behaving Badly, I know the first two series where shown on Thames/ITV but does anyone know why BBC 1 has never show the first series, surely Harry Enfield can't be the only reason why it's never shown

Brighton Belles was Carlton wasn't it?

The only thing that I liked was the comedy drama 'A Class Act' with Jo Lumley!

That still p*sses me off, they released Love Thy Neighbour, a series which most cringe at now.

Yet Desmonds & Boon (not a sitcome I know) which are far superior still haven't been released on DVD. Anyone know who I can contact to find out when these series will be released on DVD

Paddy McGuiness hinted on POG that it may come back, he certainly didn't deny it! "It all depends on Peter" he said, and gave a knowing wink to the audience.

I think Boon will be released by Network DVD in the not too distant future if my mind is correct and Desmonds, Series 6 is available via 4OD, but no DVD release yet.

Well I'm sure the whole first series (with Harry as Dermot) was shown on Men & Motors just before it left Freeview.

What a moron I am, I had a funny feeling I had seen it somewhere on air Laughing

How I wish they would bring back M&M even if it's only for the few decent programmes it has on there. M&M was/is better than ITV 4 anyway
