Love Thy Neighbour - The Complete Series + Feature Film

Love Thy Neighbour - The Complete Series + Feature Film

All eight series of the British 1970s sitcom featuring feuding neighbours.

Eddie Booth (Jack Smethurst), a white, working-class socialist is dismayed when Bill (Rudolph Walker), a black, educated Conservative moves in next door with his wife Barbie (Nina Baden-Semper). While Eddie struggles to come to terms with the political views and race of his affable neighbours, his more tolerant wife Joan (Kate Williams) in turn fails to sympathise with him and strikes up a close friendship with Barbie.

This complete-series set comprises the unscreened pilot episode, all eight series (in their intended rather than broadcast order), the Christmas 1972 short sketch for All Star Comedy Carnival, the 1973 New Year Special and a brand-new transfer of the 1973 feature film from its original film elements in its as-exhibited aspect ratio. All episodes are presented complete and uncut and have been remastered from the best available materials.

First released: Monday 11th July 2016
