The Huggetts Collection

During the immediate post-war years, the Huggetts were undoubtedly Britain's favourite film family. Unashamedly working-class, they epitomised the spirit of a united nation relishing simple pleasures with a cheery, down-to-earth smile.

Starring Jack Warner and Kathleen Harrison, this DVD set presents all four Huggetts films for the first time and showcases early successes for such beloved stars as Diana Dors, David Tomlinson and Petula Clark.

Holiday Camp (1947): The Huggett family go to a holiday camp, and get involved in crooked card players, a murderer on the run, and a pregnant young girl and her boyfriend missing from home.

Here Come The Huggetts (1948): The return of the Huggett family. After first meeting the family at the Holiday Camp, this is on the home front. The Huggetts are about to have their first telephone installed.

The Huggetts Abroad (1949): Life is not going well for the Huggetts. Father has lost his job. Jimmy and his wife cannot get to South Africa where he has a new job. So the family decide that they should go to South Africa by truck.

Vote For Huggett (1949): Father Huggett gets involved in local politics in order to build a pool for local children, but gets accused of corruption.
