Keeping Mum - The Complete First Series (DVD)
Peggy Beare (Stephanie Cole) is a rather manipulative, crafty but somewhat forgetful old lady who lives with her son Andrew (Martin Ball), a recent divorcee who has his hands full looking after her and making sure that she stays out of trouble. Despite Andrew's devoted attention Peggy thinks that her other son, Richard (David Haig) is wonderful and can do no wrong... even though he does as little as possible to help out.
Poor Andrew hopes to get back together with his ex-wife Kate but if he does it will be over Peggy's dead body, regardless of this he loves her and hasn't got the heart to put her in a home.
The daily trials and tribulations between the brothers, their mother and Tina (Meera Syal) the acid-tongued wife of Richard, help to create many hilarious moments in this superb comedy. It's a situation that people everywhere can relate to: an elderly parent, a caring son and selfish relations.
From the inside it's a living hell but from the outside it can just be very, very funny.

Mrs Merton & Malcolm - The Complete Series (DVD)
Described as "possibly the most disturbing show on television" by Time Out magazine, Mrs Merton and Malcolm was a spin off from the wildly successful The Mrs Merton Show.
Created by Caroline Aherne, Craig Cash and Henry Normal, the programme developed Aherne's spoof chat show host Mrs Merton into a sitcom mum, looking after her grown-up son Malcolm. The duo lived a highly structured life, alongside Mr Merton, who was only ever seen on screen as an immobile, silent lump, in bed upstairs.

Spitting Image - The Complete Fourth Series (DVD)
A milestone in television comedy, Spitting Image lifted satire to a new level for over a decade through the 1980s and 1990s.
No target was safe from the series' gunsights: politicians of all persuasions, Ronald Reagan, the Pope and even the Royal Family could find themselves up for a ribbing on any given programme. Exceptionally topical, the series was worked around that current weeks news stories to retain its biting edge and many famous impressionists honed their craft portraying the voices behind the wickedly accurate rubber puppets: Chris Barrie, Rory Bremner, Phil Cornwell, Steve Coogan, John Culshaw, Harry Enfield and Kate Robbins (among many others).
