The war in Burma offers no let up for the boys of the Royal Artillery Concert Party. The dressing room is cramped, the sweat makes their make-up run and they are called out on parade just as they reach the difficult bit of 'On The Good Ship Lollipop'. Life is no easier for the officers – Colonel Reynolds is down to his last dozen cases of pink gin… As Sergeant Major Williams would say: 'Oh, dear. How sad. Never mind.' Contains the complete sixth series of this hilarious BBC comedy. Includes the digitally remastered episodes: • The Stars Look Down • The Big League • The Great Payroll Snatch • The Dhobi Wallahs • Lead, Kindly Light • Holidays At Home • Caught Short Written by Jimmy Perry and David Croft.

Review date: 2008-08-10 Rating: 10 out of 10
I was a bit dubious with this series as it is the first series without the very talented Michael Bates, he had died after the last series was made. But my fears have been a waste of time as it is still a classic comedy. True, you do miss Michael with his proverbs and his strorytelling, but I feel the other actors are strong enough to cover for this, especially Windsor Davies, Melvyn Hayes and Don Estelle. Three episodes which are side-splittingly funny are The Stars Look Down, Lead Kindly Light and Holidays At Home. If you like classic comedy, you will love this.
