All Likely Lads episodes collected on DVD for the first time
The BBC is releasing a new DVD box set collating every single episode of The Likely Lads and Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads? - although some only survive as audio recordings.
British Comedy Guide, 14th November 2024For those who already know the Likely Lads, so far the radio version is sticking closely to the television scripts. However, last week when Thelma ends up accidentally in Terry's bed in the radio version it sounded as though she was naked whereas in the television version she wore a discreet petticoat. The best example I have heard of the old saw about preferring radio to television because the scenery is better.
