Nightingales - The Complete Series
First transmitted on Channel 4 in 1990, Nightingales focuses on three security guards who have the unenviable task of working the graveyard shift in a tower block, a situation which regularly turns to the surreal. A werewolf that performs open-heart surgery, bouts of Shakespearian verse and an undercover police operation are just some of the bizarre situations - and confrontations - the trio find themselves in.
Starring the acclaimed Robert Lindsay as Carter, David Threlfall and James Ellis, Nightingales was a critical success when first transmitted and is still fondly remembered to this day. As well as featuring an all-star cast, Nightingales was written by Paul Makin (Goodnight Sweetheart) and directed by the acclaimed Tony Dow (Only Fools And Horses, The Keith Barret Show).
This two-disc set contains all of the episodes from both series of the unhinged sitcom.
