Classic British sitcom fans will know Ronnie Barker as a cornerstone of BBC comedy, and this “Ultimate” DVD collection pulls together some of his best-loved work in one place. It sits alongside other TV comedy box sets from the era (think Only Fools and Horses or Dad’s Army), but with Barker’s sharper wordplay and character acting at the centre. This is a used copy, so expect it to have been previously owned; used DVDs typically mean the discs and case may show light cosmetic wear, but should be playable and complete unless stated otherwise by the seller.

Who will get the most out of this set?

If you want comfort viewing with jokes built on timing, misunderstandings and brilliantly observed characters, this is the sort of collection you can dip into for an episode or two at a time. It’s also a solid pick for anyone revisiting Open All Hours and Barker’s wider TV output without chasing individual series.

• Multiple classic shows in one set – better for bingeing or sampling than buying separate DVDs.
• Older TV presentation – expect period picture and audio, part of the charm but not modern HD.
