Still brilliant. Had this on DVD many moons ago, but left it in the UK when I left for somewhere. Watching it on YouTube. Utterly fantastic.

Any other fans?

Love it; the quips are very funny - in the same league as Big Train IMO.

My fav is The Photographer with Bill Nighy, most probably because it's my business area.

Even so, some great lines, I watch it often and still makes me smile, "Will has come to see his photography as a vocation and not a way of making any money at all"; "what happens if you loose your glasses?" "I've got a second pair" hehe

love it, got it on dvd too. fave bit "Greg Nissan" and when everyone keeps asking about his nosebleed.
Realised that Twenty Twelve was v similar in style and found that it was written by same people, and although it was funny, i didnt think they nailed it as well as PLU.

Got around to downloading it anyway. Gonna be a few hours of snorting and giggling.

Favourite bit is the copper and the fax machine. That is comedy genius.

I'm a big fan. I've actually got series 1 or 2 on DVD twice.

OP, do you want it?

Ok, so I’m resurrecting something that’s ancient history on this thread, but I have to agree that it’s a great series. I guess Langham’s subsequent conviction and imprisonment have made it difficult to promote the series, but it just doesn’t seem to get the publicity or references that the likes of Alan Partridge, The Office and others have received.

Love the bit on the airline pilot where Mallard states that he’s always wanted to know where a short haul flight stops and a long haul flight starts. Amsterdam.

I remember this from years ago, doesn't seem to be available to watch anywhere now so I've just bought the set on DVD.

Shame that Langham did what he did, as he clearly had comedy talent.

Same producer/writer that was behind W1A and 2012 if I recall.
