The unforgettable special feature length Christmas cracker from 1989 in which Del meets Raquel again and Rodney jumps to disastrous conclusions with Cassandra. It's a typically tearaway Trotter's treat - an extra large helping of luvvly jubbly...

Del is organising the annual beano to Margate, the traditional Jolly Boys' Outing. But Rodney and Cassandra have just celebrated their first wedding anniversary and she's worried about him going out with the boys - especially as she's angling for promotion with her yuppie boss. When Rodders is arrested and the whole party is stranded by a very nasty accident, her worst fears are realised. But there's more to Margate than chips, cockles, ice-cream, doughnuts, Pina Colada and lobster vindaloo. There's magician The Great Ramondo and his assistant Raquel. All right Del, but back home Cassandra's ambitions appear to have got out of hand...

Trotters Independent Trading Company comes face to face with the creme-de-la-menthe of British nobility...Del decides a visit to the opera is the perfect opportunity for Rodders to impress his new "friend", the daughter of the Duke of Maylebury.

However, munching a packet of crisps through the duet and whistling along to the aria, is more Peckham Astoria than Covent Garden. When Rodney is then invited on a shooting weekend, he hardly needs Del to arrive, enter the clay pigeon shoot with a borrowed sawn-off shotgun, and confide in the Duke that he plans to announce the engagement of the Duke's daughter and his brother in "Country Life, The Times and the Peckham Echo".

A 1960s forerunner to EastEnders, this highly engaging series captures all of the camaraderie and humour, rivalry and chicanery, graft and greed of a bustling Soho market where stalls may be inherited, bought, or "acquired".

This set contains the complete first series from 1967 - all that remains of this well-remembered and highly popular street life drama and its sequel 'Honey Lane'. Billy (John Bennett), a hard-bitten gambler who's usually facing economic disaster on a major or minor scale cheerfully works alongside vegetable seller Dave (Ray Lonnen), who's after a spot for his brother. Widow Polly (Pat Nye) runs a busy fruit stall, while her dim-witted son Danny (Brian Rawlinson) does odd jobs to earn a bit of cash. Then there are the fly pitchers: boys who work out of a suitcase, drumming up a crowd to make a sale and swiftly moving on, or those on the hunt to get a stall - at any cost! The market in Honey Lane may be a human jungle but its traders know how to bury their differences, weed out real rats and deal with interlopers like scheming, corrupt and ever-unpopular market inspector Mr. Tooke (Alister Williamson)...

If Prime Minister Jim Hacker has a fault (and God knows...), it is that he has ideas. Fortunately his Cabinet Secretary, Sir Humphrey makes sure they never come to fruition, while poor Bernard, his Private Secretary, sits uneasily on the fence between them...

"Scotland Yard" was perhaps the best-known series to emerge from Anglo-Amalgamated's output of crime drama.

Shot as cinema support features at the company's Merton Park Studios in South Wimbledon, these half-hour thrillers - based on real-life cases from the vaults of London's Metropolitan Police headquarters - were a successful regular feature in cinemas over nearly a decade from the early 1950's onwards. Like sister series 'Scales of Justice', 'Scotland Yard' is introduced by celebrated writer and criminologist Edgar Lustgarten and presents case after intriguing case, with many solved onscreen by the redoubtable Inspector Duggan (played by Australian-born Russell Napier). This set comprises all 39 films, also featuring appearances by Harry H. Corbett, Peter Bowles, John Le Mesurier, Peter Arne and Robert Raglan, among many others.
