Dick Spanner

Firstly I apologise for people expecting smut.

I have just learnt that the above is coming out on a DVD, it was a pun laden animated film noir pastiche shown on Network 7 and I absolutley loved it, now to pick who's gonna get it for Christmas.

But is it a British sitcom? Sounds intriguing though.

A two disc DVD set, with each disc containing one complete series, redone background music featuring acoustic instruments, rather than the original electronic synthesisers...

Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of releasing an 80s show on DVD?

I remember this being great fun. Not really sitcom - more short animated episodes - but very funny at times. Brainchild of the great Gerry Anderson, if I remember rightly.

Dick Spanner drives me nuts :D
