Top 10 Network Comedies of 2018: 6-10

As 2018 draws ever nearer its denouement, Network asked me if I'd look back over their comedy DVD and Blu-ray releases from the past 12 months and select the ten best titles.

Aaron Brown, Network, 14th December 2018

The Fenn Street Gang (LWT), or Son of Please Sir, demonstrates television's inability to let a good thing go. It pursues the careers of Form 30 into the wider world and larger opportunities which teachers tell us await us. This series suffers immediately from the lack of the adult actors, who gave it strength and stature.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 25th September 1971
