Even if they just repeated the episodes again. This programme was truly brilliant. So well acted, so well written, so funny, and nice and clean, with likeable characters such as Jacko and Elmo. I loved this programme!
i have watched this show many years ago on TV have now just finished watching it again my regret is that i have finished and now i am wishing there had been a lot more series to watch at least i have it all on DVD so can watch again in years to come because i know they would never remake this show again in modern times as the critics would accuse jacko as being a sexist pig my how times have changed very thin skins these days so if you get the chance to watch the show relax enjoy and throw a big raspberry to all the sad sacks and remember sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.
Brilliant non pc writing... of an age gone by like the Likely Lads it's just brilliant lad comedy
This does show consequences of Jackos life
This brings back so many memories... love Gary Waldhorn and miss Elmo
Puerile, shameful, not funny, ugly cast, poor writing, awful direction. The sort of show that makes me ashamed to be British. We produce so much good comedy but also so much bad "comedy". This reminds me of "Love thy neighbour", Eastenders, The only way is Essex, 90% of ITV comedies - my parents would not allow us to watch ITV comdies because of how poor they were. This was almost as bad as Gracie Fields, Arthur Askey, that awful show about a department store "I'm free" "oooo, I'd best get home to feed my pussy". Shocking how the nation that produces the greatest comedies produces something that is as bad as South American dramas and African soaps.
Today i finished watching the last series. Again. After 20 years. Not only does it leave us hanging Mike Walling has just died.

- GoofsIn one episode Jacko reads a bedtime story to a little girl. The cover of the book he is holding is clearly Stan and Jan Berenstain's "The Bears' Vacation" but the story he is reading out is completely different.
