The three episodes of series one are edited together on the DVD in what appears to be a straight transfer from the video release in the 1990s. Episode 3 (Pâté & Chips) ends with credits for all three episodes plus the original BBC Video ident.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“Rosalynn said, Jimmy, if we could only get Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat up here on this mountain for a few days, I believe they might consider how they could prevent another war between their countries. That gave me the idea, and a few weeks later, I invited both men to join me for a series of private talks. In September 1978, they both came to Camp David.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (18961940)
“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
