The Darling Buds of May
The Darling Buds of May
This enormously popular British comedy/drama series made a star of Catherine Zeta-Jones (Chicago) who, in her first TV series, received more newspaper coverage than the Royal Family!
Set during the ever-sunny 1950s, this is the story of the indestructible Larkins, headed by dreamer and schemer Sidney “Pop” Larkin (David Jason). These folks lead an idyllic, flamboyant life in the English countryside, enlivened by Pop Larkin’s never-ending entrepreneurial adventures and the fierce devotion of each family member to one another through good times and bad. Based on the bestselling novels of H.E. Bates, this is a touching, often hilarious tribute to family life.

Perfek; or perfik,
One of my favorite Britcoms. I think it and Yes Prime Minister are neck and neck. Next would be Rumpole of the Bailey and Lovejoy. I received the item most promptly and in excellent cond. Most of the recent Britcoms I think are, as most american tv stuff, enamored with all things sexual and homo and I don’t watch that crap. This one is highly recommended. No problem with giving it 5 stars in my estimation.

|British Sitcoms,
I am a devout fan of British comedy and own many of them on DVD and VHS. I am gradually replacing the ones on VHS with the DVD format as they become available and was very happy to be able to purchase “The Darling Buds of May” on DVD. I am a great fan of David Jason. (Loved him in “Open All Hours”, which I also have). The beautiful Catherine Zeta Jones is also a pleasure to watch and Pam Ferris was marvelous as the mother of that large brood. The great thing about having my favorite shows on DVD is that I can watch them again and again whenever if need a good laugh. Thanks for providing the British shows and keep them coming. There are many good ones that I would like to own on DVD.
