"A very clever comedy."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This series is as entertaining as when I first saw it years ago, and shows the interactions of the same set of characters at a series of social functions.

Description

The complete 13 episode series of the 1989 British comedy drama series A Bit of a Do on 4 disc DVD.

When Paul Simcock, son of common-as-muck toasting-fork tycoon Ted and his insecure wife Rita, marries Jenny Rodenhurst, only daughter of well-heeled, snobbish Laurence and his glamorous, sensual wife Liz, the happy couple don’t suspect their conventional white wedding will be the beginning of a bizarre tangle of love, lusts, hypocrisy and jealousy.

Against the background of a different ‘do’ (a christening, a funeral, various parties and several weddings), arguments, personality clashes, drunken displays and affairs of the flesh bubble to the surface. With an inability to get along due to their differing social backgrounds, will there be eternal happiness for anyone on the invitation list?

This four disc set includes all 13 episodes of the cleverly funny, moving, slightly risqué and totally unpredictable series written by best-selling author David Nobbs' and based on his own novels. Starring British favourites David Jason (Only Fools & Horses, A Touch of Frost) is joined by Gwen Taylor (Heartbeat, Duty Free), Nicola Pagett (Upstairs, Downstairs), Paul Chapman (As Time Goes By), Michael Jayston (Tinker Tailor Solider Spy) and Stephanie Cole (Doc Martin, Waiting For God).
