Featuring all three series of Operation Good Guys.
Series 1: A new fly-on-the-wall documentary series about an elite police unit's bid to snare one of Britain's most powerful crime lords. But things are not quite what they seem... Operation Good Guys is in fact an innovative and irreverent comedy. Blurring the line between fact and fiction, it witnesses, on camera, the total breakdown, professionally and personally, of the Operation Good Guys team. Throughout the operation, The 'Good Guys' have an unfortunate habit of embroiling into their calamitous world some of the country's best-known celebrities, from actors and footballers, to TV presenters and even the odd ex-convict.
Series 2: The first series won the Silver Rose for Best Sitcom and the Prix de la presse at Montreux 1998. Now DI Beach and the team are docu-soap stars, the police have no choice but to reunite them. Barry Couch, the constabulary's newly appointed razor-sharp PR consultant, organises a number of "controlled" showcase operations, from traffic calming in Camberwell to perfume scams on the Costa Del Sol, to prove the previous operation as a one-off failure. But with BBC producer Clive Tollack looking to manipulate every situation for television effect and Barry Couch trying to stop him, and with the Good Guys only beginning to come to terms with the pressures of their newfound celebrity, one thing is for sure - nothing will go to plan.
Series 3: The hilarious spoof-docu-soap - set in a disaster-prone police station - returns. As the BBC commissions ever-more unrealistic scenarios, DI Beach and his colleagues find themselves dressed as women; giving road-safety classes to schoolchildren; investigating corruption in boxing; and generally misunderstanding the brief.

This series which aired on BBC 2 back in the day was a real hit with me the moment I watched it. Got the set on VCR only to find that one of the tapes has now been damaged. Want to make sure I've got this on DVD so I can watch it back over the years and laugh as I always do.
A definate series to add to your collection. Genious!
Easily my favourite TV comedy show, the whole cast is brilliant. When you buy this, get ' Love, Honour and Obey' and 'Final Cut' as well. Comedy gold.
This was bought for me as a present and I had not seen it on TV. I started watching this to find there were genuine laugh out loud moments. It is played brilliantly by the actors and in many ways it is 'The Office' just with police. A comedy classic... I cannot believe I missed it on TV. Class !
I watched the original series on bbc2,i did have it on video tape but as usual it got taped over so i had to buy the dvd its halarious,its filmed around a fly on the wall documentary.
There too many hilarious scenes too mention buy it you wont regret it.
The elephant man homage scene - due to excessive sunburn. I've not laughed so hard in all my days, a scene that will make me smile until my dying day. Worth the sale price for that alone. Brilliant.
