I'm not sure where to post this. I'm from America and I remember in The Late 1980's a show called the Fairly Secret Army, It starred Geoffery Palmer as a retired army offficer starting his own militia. This was one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. I watched It on PBS so I don't know the dates it was originally on and I havn't seen it in years . Does anybody know if this show is on VHS or DVD. I"ve recently become a Big fan of Father Ted And I'm sorry to here of his death. He was really funny. PBS doesn't show this anymore, at least not in Minnesota. Maybe people were offended by this, but this was one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. After watching this show I remember me and My drunk friends Chanting, Drink, Girls, feck off!

AFAIK it's not currently available, and I'm afraid for the time being at least that's unlikely to change. It was never a huge success. It was a sort of 'semi-spin off' from The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin, the hugely successful 70s sitcom starring Leonard Rossiter. Geoffrey Palmer played a bit of a berk ex-army officer in that, and his character was the inspiration for the Fairly Secret Army show (the title being a play on Secret Army, a drama series about the French Resistance and French civilians helping downed Allied pilots to escape back to friendly territory. Very big in the seventies, and itself the inspiration for 'Allo 'Allo).

It's one big TV family tree, isn't it! Anyway, Fairly Secret Army wasn't as big as it might have been, and isn't remembered by that many people. Don't rule out a possible release, as nostalgia is big business, and companies are learning that TV series sell well on DVD especially.
