COMEDY DVD RELEASES

KLINGER'S DAY (PLAYBACK) £11.99

What happens when a cross-dressing, Lebanese, Korean war vet called Max Klinger arrives to take over the management of a Stevenage supermarket? Hilarity, of a sort, ensues. This MASH spin-off, and sequel to both Tripper's and Slinger's Day from 1988 also stars Christopher Strauli, Roger Lloyd Pack, and Vicki Michelle.

THE PRODIGY AT NUMBER 16 (FAST FORWARD) £12.99

This 1993 sitcom was taken off the air after four episodes due to concerns over bad language, depictions of drug taking and the use of repetitive beats. This DVD includes all eight episodes filmed, as well as the original pilot, “Your Twisted Firestarter For Ten.”

DEY COME OVER 'ERE... (CPR) £12.99

At last a DVD release for this incredibly-controversial, never-repeated 1974 situation comedy from Johnny Speight and Vince Powell. Starring Rudolph Walker as a black National Front supporter forced to share a room with a recent Pakistani immigrant (a blacked-up Richard Wattis) by a Chinese, Mao-supporting landlord (Spike Milligan.)
