The ten Series 12 episodes were released along with the six Series 13 episodes and two Specials in another boxset labelled Series 13 & 14.

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:

    “The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
    —Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)

    “There is in every either-or a certain naivete which may well befit the evaluator, but ill- becomes the thinker, for whom opposites dissolve in series of transitions.”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    “Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
