Mr Jolly Lives next door is the best film which has ever been made.

I have watched it about 10 times, and the only thing ever to come close is Withnail and I:clap:

Now that does look fab :thumbsup:

Mine was pre ordered from Play about a month ago....

Fistful of travellers cheques and dirty movie my faves:clap:

'I don't think I like this place....I don't think I like you.....I don't think I heard that.....I don't think I said it......I don't think....ha ha ha ha ha !! Priceless!!!

'ummm....you haven't got a letterbox....that's bcoz I never get any letters....ummm well you've got one today (smashes a hole through the door with hammer and chisel) posts the letter through....and then door reopens and the householder shouts to the postman....sorry this isn't the right address...I told you I never get any letters!!! (Frowns at the mess of his front door!)

:hihi:

Mr. Jolly
FistFull
Bad News/More Bad News (Saw them 'live' at the City Hall :) )

Classics!

Apparently, the box set will contain 9 DVDs. 8 contain the progs. and 1 is an 'extras' DVD.

I personally doubt that the early 90s BBC episodes would be included, as I'd see BBC Video releasing them for themselves, though a proper complete release would be smart!
