Duty Free

I have recently watched all three series of Duty Free and I have to say I wasn't disappointed! I found the characters to be hilarious, especially Robert! I really don't understand some of the negative reviews and I would recommend this to anyone who understands true comedy before political correctness came into the matter! Robert in particular conforms to most stereotypes calling the French frogs and insulting the Germans with every opportunity he gets, not forgetting the Russians and any other country that lost in the war! But I think that every body knows that its not really intended to offend anybody and is said purely for a laugh (having said that, I might not recommend this program to any English speaking Germans!)

When this series was first shown (three seasons from 1984 to 1986) I thought it was great.

About ten years after it finished I was really pleased to see some repeats coming up on satellite.

I watched the first part and by around halfway through my jaw was on the floor.

A talented cast flounders, completely at a loss as to how to bring any life or freshness to scripts that feel as though they've been sat on a shelf since the early sixties, when package holidays to Spain were a new idea (by the mid-eighties the novelty had pretty much worn off).

I can only think that this series got the green light on the back of Eric Chappell's success with 'Rising Damp' and 'Only When I Laugh'.

What on Earth I thought was good the first time around, I cannot imagine.

My wife said your not watching that but I had to & glad I did, some stuff are better not played again but this is still funny Thanks Forces tv.

Just been watching reruns on TV Still as funny as I remember Can't understand why people would give it a low vote, maybe they a just pretentious and haven't got a sense of simple comedy

A great TV sitcom well worth a watch or though I didn't enjoy the Christmas special much?

Favourite episode the go between. With the character, nevil brilliant!
