2 rare BBC sitcoms on 1 disc. If I was back in New England I'd say "izzat wickid cool aw wot?"Comrade Dad was a futuristic sitcom (1999!) that takes place after the Communists have taken over. (In 1986, when this was broadcast, if you went around telling people that in 3 years the Soviet Union, Berlin Wall, and Eastern Bloc would all be history you'd probably impress most people as being totally looney tunes.) I don't have the pilot but the rest is here. It starred veteran actor George Cole who is probably best known as Arthur Daley in Minder.
Sitting Pretty was written by John Sullivan (Only Fools And Horses, Just Good Friends, Dear John, Roger Roger, Citizen Smith, Heartburn Hotel, The Green Green Grass) and starred the late Diane Bull. Don't have the first 7-episode series, but we've got to take what we can get. The link below offers a good description:
