Not long bought this on DVD.
First watched it when they had a Christmas special in 1993 'Much, The Mini-mart Managers Son' and played it 3 times a day for 2 weeks until my mum had enough and banned it.
Came in a bit late as the last series went out a few months later in 1994, I was gutted and hungry for more. Didn't get any until around 2001 when they repeated it on BBC1. Finally 17 years later I've managed to see the ones I missed, was like being 10 again, haven't laughed so much in ages.
Don't quite know where it fits, sitcom, comedy, spoof, kids show?
It could easily be shown today and still get a wide audience on a Saturday or Sunday in the early evening, beats some of the crap they show arrows down.
