Gone To Seed + Very Big Very Soon

A comedy dynamic duo from the early 90's on Central.

Gone To Seed was a 6 - 50 min. serial starring.......get this.......Jim Broadbent, Warren Clarke, Sheila Hancock, Alison Steadman and Peter Cook.
From IMDB: "A domineering mother Mag Plant, who owns a nursery/garden centre in London, refuses to hand-over control to her children (despite indications that this may be the best course of action for the family). The Plant triplets are comprised of Winston, a one-eyed wrestler; Monty, a would-be Country & Western singer; Hilda, a virginal wallflower whose only passion in life appears to be the Millwall soccer team. A local conman, Wesley Willis, lurks in the shadows and knows the true-worth of prime-location London real-estate."  This made around the same time as Gone To The Dogs with a lot of the same actors.

Very Big Very Soon starred Paul Shane of Hi-de-Hi! / Oh, Dr. Beeching! / You Rang M'Lord? fame. Also in the cast was Tim Wylton (Dustbinmen, A Bit Of A Do, As Time Goes By, etc.) and Sheila White had roles in both programs on this disc.
