Wahey mates! The greatest sitcom in the BBCs history and a true benchmark for every sitcom that followed, the sharp, brilliantly observant and consistently laugh-out-loud funny Men Behaving Badly comes to DVD in a fantastic 20th Anniversary collection that, for the first time, brings together every episode of all six classic series along with the four specials and the rarely-seen Comic Relief sketches. Flatmates Gary and Tony are your typical lads, a pair of irresponsible, politically incorrect and seriously juvenile men who refuse to grown up and whose idea of heaven is sitting on the sofa, drinking lager, talking about women and putting the world to rights while watching Kylie Minogue videos on the TV. The one sobering influence in their lives is Dorothy, a sensible, sharp-witted nurse and Garys long-suffering girlfriend. But the dynamics between this trio of friends soon change when a gorgeous blonde moves into the flat upstairs and Tony falls desperately in lust. An unmissable TV viewing fixture during its initial broadcast during the 1990s and deservedly voted the best sitcom in the BBCs history at the corporations 60th anniversary celebrations, the truly classic Men Behaving Badly still stands as one of the funniest TV series of all time, thanks in no small part to Simon Nyes brilliant writing. This eight-disc release features every MBB moment ever broadcast and amounts to over 20 hours of unreconstructed male merriment. Its time to get the beers in, order a pizza and watch the telly!
