This was a very underrated comedy based loosely around the on-pitch antics of the members of a cricket club, with a surprisingly strong and poignant human element for Kevin and Maggie in particular.

It's hard to define what makes this a classic, but the script is fantastic and the characters brilliantly cast - with phrases you'll never forget, and you'll never hear "Peter And The Wolf" again without finding yourself smirk !

Roger ("Captain") and Mim ("love you, ok, fair enough"), and Kevin and Maggie are the mainstays of the cast, with the rest of the "team" and their partners mainly playing supporting roles.

I had this when it first came out on VHS, and I lent the first series to a friend - he went out and bought the second series for himself, and I had to "steal" my copy back off him !

Stop reading and buy it, you won't regret it ! (go for the full set !)
