    Yeah, it was a really good show. I just saw that they are releasing it on DVD in England which has persuaded me into buying a region free player and order the series. I can't wait since I only saw maybe a season or two of the show.

    Drop The Dead Donkey is the best topical satire in the world.

    If you like DTDD you should check out Old Harry's Game (a radio series written by Andy Hamilton), it is available on BBC CD. It is every bit as funny as Drop The Dead Donkey.

    Watching it a decade after it was first shown, you notice that it was quite a conventional (good) sitcom. The references to current news topics are just details. It's a show about people in a workplace, not that different from anything like The Mary Tyler Moor Show up to The Office.

    Drop the Dead Donkey isa brilliant show, it should be watched by everyone. Its a great satire and if you dont like satire its still a really good character based sitcom. So you cant loose. Unless you just have no sense of humour.

    btw whoever mentioned Old Harrys Game, thats good aswell its on BBC7 Monday Nights at 10:30 now. You can listen on www.bbc.co.uk/radio on BBC7s listen again page
