Things are looking up for Detective Constable "Dangerous" Davies (Peter Davison, Doctor Who, At Home With The Braithwaites). Sure, he still gets the least promising cases in the Willesden constabulary. And he still gets little more than mockery from his colleagues. But his wife Julie (Emma Amos) has taken him back - even though she has to share a house with his quirky, freeloading chum, Mod (Sean Hughes, The Commitments). These five full-length mysteries feature first-rate guest stars, including Kenneth Cranham (Rome), Roger Daltrey (McVigar), and Leslie Phillips (Chancer).

Beleaguered by life and belittled by colleagues, "Dangerous"" Davies (Peter Davison, Doctor Who, All Creatures Great And Small) cracks four all-new cases in the detective series that has delighted legions of loyal fans. These full-length mysteries find Davis still slogging along in the Willesden constabulary, with promotion no more than a pipe dream. He's still sharing a flat with Mod (Sean Hughes, The Commitments), the oddest of odd ducks. And he's still trying to rekindle a spark with his estranged wife, Julie (Emma Amos).

As disrespected, disheveled, and endearingly dedicated as ever, Detective Constable "Dangerous" Davies (Peter Davison, Doctor Who, All Creatures Great And Small) returns to solve four new, full length mysteries. His wife left him, his coworkers sarcastically dubbed him "Dangerous," and his boss called him "last detective" expected to crack a big case. He even listens to advice from his kooky chum Mod (Sean Hughes, The Commitments). Still, Davies manages to make connections that slicker chaps in the North London constabulary miss.

He's gentle, old-fashioned, and decent; nice even when he's drunk. But these qualities only earn Detective Constable "Dangerous" Davies (Peter Davison, Campion, All Creatures Great and Small) the scorn of his fellow detectives in a small London police station. His boss tells him straight out that he's the last detective he would assign to a major crime-solving mission. Unlucky in love, rumpled, and accident prone, Dangerous muddles on and, with the help of his eccentric friend Mod (Sean Hughes, The Commitments), he proves the merits of his dogged, unglamorous method.

Meet Rene, the most wanted man in Occupied France. Women want his body. The Resistance want his brain. And the Nazis want his sausage! In a small café in Nouvion, the harassed proprietor is having a trying war. With the German army in residence in the bar, René is risking his neck to aid the Resistance by hiding two British airmen and a radio transmitter upstairs in his mother-in-laws bedroom. He is also involved in hiding the priceless painting of the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies in a large sausage which even now is being sniffed out by the Gestapo.

Things are looking up for Rene Artois. The British airmen have finally escaped to England, Captain Bertorelli and his Italian troops have gone home, and the war is going badly for the Germans. Could this mean the return to a peaceful life? Not when Yvette announces she is pregnant! There is nothing for Rene to do except marry her. But first he must retrieve a compromising photo of Lieutenant Gruber with the painting of the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies, which is mysteriously missing one booby.

Poor Rene. He was last seen in a prisoner of war camp, trapped with his wife and both mistresses, not to mention the two idiotic British airmen and Michelle, the hardest taskmaster of the Resistance. What's worse, Cafe Rene and its gin supply are in the unreliable hands of his mother-in-law. More hare-brained schemes, more cross-dressers, more sausages, more fractured accents, more double entendres - they're all part of the rich texture of this hugely popular sitcom from the BBC!

The sleepy English village of Dibley gets shaken up when their new vicar turns out to be a woman--and not just any woman, but Geraldine Granger, played by Dawn French of the peerless comedy duo French & Saunders. With wit and warmth, Gerry swiftly trumped her parishioner's chauvinism and turned British sitcom The Vicar of Dibley into a cult favorite. Over the course of 16 episodes and specials, Gerry grappled with everything from a broken church window to getting smeared in the tabloids, from the demise of the Easter Bunny to the possible destruction of the village.

Bean, Bean, maniacal nut / The more you watch, you bust a gut! First unleashed in 1989, this sketch series was embraced by PBS viewers in the United States. In the tradition of the great silent clowns, Rowan Atkinson created a character with universal and multi-generational appeal (the sketches have little dialogue and are driven by often ingenious physical comedy). Like Bart Simpson, the resourceful, mischievous, and sometimes malevolent Bean is the inner child incarnate who acts on the impulses polite society normally represses.

They wore napkins on their heads, put things on top of other things, and made the Spanish Inquisition hip. They came from a small island off the coast of Europe and took the world by storm. They set a standard for dementia that will never be matched. They were Monty Python. Now, every single moment of the legendary Flying Circus is together in this comprehensive DVD set.
