DVD Description

Series 1-8 Complete

All the episodes from the BBC series one to eight of Jimmy Perry and David Croft's It Ain't Half Hot Mum, first broadcast in 1974. The series follows the exploits of a Royal Artillery Concert Party during the Second World War. Created by David Croft and Jimmy Perry, it seemed a natural follow-up to their smash hit Dad's Army. Another ensemble piece, it drew on both writers' wartime experience in India and set the action in Deolali: a British army camp 100 miles north-east of Bombay where everyone's gone "a bit doolally".

The concert party is a rag-tag collection of soldiers who'd rather sing, dance and drag up to entertain the troops than be sent forward to the front line. Characters include effeminate drag artist Gunner 'Gloria' Beaumont (Melvyn Hayes); the diminutive Gunner 'Lofty' Willie Sugden (Don Estelle) who possesses a hauntingly beautiful singing voice and ineffectual Colonel Reynolds (Donald Hewlett). However, the show's stand-out personality is the bombastic, eye-rolling Battery Sergeant Major Williams (Windsdor Davies).

    I don't see anything wrong it ...its a classic, better than the junk they have now like Citizen Khan which is way more offensive

    As things go, there was really nothing wrong with this series as everyone was having a go at everyone else in fairly equal measure. If you look or listen hard enough to something, it's guaranteed that you'll find something that will offend somebody. Many a time I find politicians' comments and statements offensive but I don't suppose for one second that they will be gagged. It's about time the powers-that-be climbed out from where they've stuck their heads and realise where it could eventually lead. After all, many dramas about WW1 and WW2 are highly offensive to those who were our enemies. Even certain episodes of "Dads Army" and "Allo, Allo" could be considered to have racist comments in them, and certainly some episodes of Steptoe could be considered homophobic. Probably the most PC thing that could be done is shut down all radio and tv, cinemas, newspapers, strike us all deaf, dumb, chop off our hands, and poke our eyes out so that we can't hear, see, write or read anything offensive.
    OK, Monday rant over. Everyone have a good week!

    Ahh the Daily Mail. The paper of record for all open minded, thinking people...

    I agree. I loved 'It ain't half hot mum' and it still makes me laugh when I catch an episode now. It was an accurate period comedy. Windsor Davies was very funny but the Indian characters where equaly as funny and strong.

    I used to love this when it first came out.

    I tried watching an episode the other day, it was awful, really dated humour like Mind Your Manners, some things are best left in the past.

    I don't know if they have digitally cleaned any of these up, but I have an earlier complete box set. There are some previously lost episodes, where the quality is terrible.

    Please unexpire this deal. It is still available. May the heavens save us from the politically correct.
