Where Can I Buy British Sitcom Videos, DVDs and Books?

We recommend Amazon.com - they have the widest range of British sitcoms on the web outside of the UK. They are very reliable and provide more information about their products than most. To find videos, DVDs and books on Amazon.com just enter the sitcom you are after in the box below...

In Association with Amazon.com

There are of course many other American stores online which you could buy from instead - see our list Go

If you can't find what you're looking for on any US website then please read on, as it may be available to import from the UK...

Buying From The UK

Obviously not all British sitcoms have been released in America / Canada as demand isn't going to be particularly high for some of our more obscure sitcoms. Many more British series are available on DVD and Video from the UK.

Very Important Note: The videos and DVDs for sale in the UK are a different format from those in America. The DVDs are mostly Region 2 and the videos VHS PAL. You are unlikely to be able to play these unless you have a multi-region DVD player - please check before importing any merchandise. (Books are obviously fine unless you've forgotten how to read English!). More information on DVD / Video formats Opens in a new window

Almost all online retailers in the UK sell sitcom merchandise. The British Comedy Guide recommends Amazon.co.uk...

The British version of Amazon has the widest range of British sitcom titles for sale anywhere in the world and, like Amazon.com, they are very reliable and well priced. Amazon UK ships internationally - they are particularly geared up to deliver to America and Canada you'll be pleased to hear [more about shipping Opens in new window]. To find videos, DVDs and books on Amazon UK just enter the sitcom you are after in the box below...

If you don't want to buy from Amazon, sitcom merchandise is listed on many other UK websites too - see our comprehensive list of UK shops (double check before purchasing that they deliver abroad though!).

Note: don't forget some sitcoms have a different name in the UK. For example "Thermoman" is "My Hero" and "Good Neighbors" is "The Good Life". Our guides normally point out any differences.

I Still Can't Find The Merchandise I'm Looking For...

If you can't find what you're looking for on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk it's likely that the merchandise you are trying to buy hasn't been released yet.

That doesn't necessarily mean you can't get hold of a copy of the comedy though. More explanation, info, advice and tips Go

I Have A Merchandise Question

We at the British Comedy Guide know as much as we've written on this website so it isn't worth trying to ask us any merchandising questions. Instead you should ask the people who are in the know - that is the production and distribution companies...

Of course if you've got a question about prices or delivery you should direct that to the retailer you are looking to buy from. If all else fails why not post a message in our DVD forum?
