Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. Eddie Booth (Jack Smethurst), a white, working-class socialist is dismayed when Bill (Rudolph Walker), a black, educated Conservative moves in next door with his wife Barbie (Nina Baden-Semper).

This language is not tolerated in this day and age but 40 years ago it is language that people used in the context presented in this programme. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

The series uses made up words to insult each other, which couldnt be accused of racist because they were made up, were talking 50 years ago! So refreshing to watch a comedy from my childhood, without the crude rude swearing and disgusting jokes of nowadays, without gratuitous sex or violence. I'd only seen a few episodes, but when I saw it available on DVD and including all eight series along with the movie, I just had to get it.

Mind you, I had the same, more pronounced, shock when getting used to the foul language used in the brilliant Orange is the New Black series. Its comic spin on racism, politics and general childish antagonism was loved by millions and the series remains a firm favourite to this day. To those born in the mid 60's like me, the first nostalgia trip is when you play an episode and the old Thames television logo appears.

Series 4 episodes are: 'Hines' Sight', 'Friendly', 'Working On New Year's Eve', 'Eddie's Mother in Law', 'The Ante-Natal Clinic', 'Two Weeks to Babies', 'To the Hospital', 'The Big Day', 'The Mediterranean', 'Bananas', 'Teething Problems', 'Cat's Away', 'Ghosts' and 'Eddie's Birthday'. I am happy to report that Love Thy Neighbour is every bit as good, if not better, than I remembered.If your easily offended then this series isn’t for you but if you’ve got a sense of humour then get this set, especially if like me you wasn’t born when this show was originally aired your going to wet yourself as it is so funny. Eddie and his wife Joan (Kate Williams) live happily in a peaceful neighbourhood - until they meet their new neighbours. If you look at another TV show of that period, Rising Damp, it also portrays Leonard Rosseter's character, Mr Rigsby, as ignorant more than racist. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
