I figured this one neded a thread of it's own, a great series, I've got the first two tapes of it, I don't think it's on dvd at all, hilarious stuff.
The first episode, 'Tomkinson's Schooldays', had me screaming, the younger boys being nailed to the wall by the seniors students, and Tomkinson making a full scale icebreaker ship in craft class, just brilliant.

"Mum, Howard Molson's got two shovels".

Michael Palin is brilliant.

Yes, his obsession with shovels is hilarious...how about the one where he's completely devoted to Barnstoneworth football, the family has memorized every player who ever took the field for them, brilliant!!! They should put the whole set out on dvd, fer sure!
