Found in the 1990s. A cock up by 2 entertain.

Quote: Deferenz @ June 24 2008, 4:34 PM BSTWith regard to what Jack is saying with the extra episode, does it actually have anything to do with which set you get? I know you said both sets are the same but what if one contains the extra episode?
Play.com's box set was called; The Very Best of Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads. Whereas Amazon's was called The Likely Lads Collection. The question could be - which set is the latest?

They are identical. Play have the wrong name, and misleading information. That's all there is to it.
Quote: Aaron @ June 24 2008, 1:11 PM BSTThink of the young 'uns who are members, some of whom don't even post in this forum very often. Robyn, Charly, Elliot and Ellie spring to mind. Even zooo might not have seen it.
This is, after all, what a forum about British sitcoms is for.
It's usually about anything you want it to be about Aaron
True. But strictly speaking... 
I've only seen WHTTLL, but I'm a big fan of it.
It's quite overlooked due to the lack of repeats.
Re: The lack of repeats - is this something to do with Bolam and Bewes feud?
James Bolam wouldn't allow repeats of WHTTLL for a long time because he wanted to move on and be seen for something other than Terry Collier. He doesn't like Bewes though, that's for sure.
David Jason is still doing the same with almost all of his pre Fools and Horses work cept Open All Hours.
I have a dozen episodes of A Sharp Intake of Breath and he is quite good in them - the other actors who need royalties are not big fans of his apparently

As Alan said. But beyond that, just because channels are stupid.
Anyone remember the origins of sitcom (I forget what they called it exactly) season which UKTV Gold ran a few years ago? My first taste of Hancock, Steptoe, Likely Lads, and a number of others. Haven't seen it repeated before or since though.

He also blocks OFAH from clip shows and the like. Doesn't want to be remembered only as Del Boy, apparently.
The Whatever... episodes were repeated a couple of times in the 90s on BBC2. Even the surviving episodes of the original were shown, including the episode they forgot to put on the original dvd set.

Given the turkeys he has been turning out for ITV over recent years you would think he would be grateful for people being reminded.

Yes Bolam did relent once people were talking about him in other stuff.
