Thanks so much for putting this on. Well ahead of its time, well before the royal family, benidorm etc.

Just to mention this was a great comedy as well, anyone know where they filmed it?

[kwikoperator]

This brings back many happy memories, as far as I remember this was shown in December 1987 and not 1986, I did tape it but lost the tape, I can't believe they did not repeat this on television, they must have used a more professional Camcorder to film this as you would not have achieved this quality with the camcorders they had for sale in the late 80's, anyway thanks for uploading.

Christmas is complete again!!

Damn fine work Snipturn, thank you!

[LiverpoolBro]

I love this, I wish they'd either repeat it or bring it out on dvd

[woody7able]

comedy classic never been keen on s n j but this is bollocks funniest ever

[vulcathene]

I know this is going off the subject of Smith & Jones, but I agree with the Only fools & horses box set being cut, also on the Miami Twice feature episode, they've put in laughter in the background and the original had no laughter in as it was filmed out of the studios.

[vulcathene]

Glad it is out on DVd, thanks for mentioning this, it has been edidted.

The bit in the original where Alan sells those T-shirts in the pub, the bit where Len (Mel Smith) says "you look a right ol' dogs dinner...what I mean is,,," Been cut out of the film that's the only bit I know about.

[snipturn]

Must admit I had not noticed that cut. The BBC are always doing this sort of thing when releasing DVD's. Sometimes its because of copyright issues (with music) and other times its because some lines in the script are simply not "PC" anymore.  Another culprit thats cut alot is Only Fools and Horses. Its such a shame.

[snipturn]

This programme IS NOW AVAILABLE on DVD! Its on the special features of disc one of "At last Smith and Jones Vol1" which was released a few days ago. Looks nice and clear compared to the old and tired VHS version.

where can i get a copy of this on dvd as i did have it on vhs but kids taped over it and would like a copy to laugh at again so can you help

[womblediehard]

Remember this as a child and even then it was hilarious and it has not dated what so ever and shame this cant be repeated again on main stream tv without a doubt the best thing since wilt these two have made. Nice one for uploading this :)

[lolitabootsie]

im so glad you've uploaded this. its been a tradition to watch it at my house too :D

[vulcathene]

Shame DVD's weren't around then, otherwise I'd still have this in superb quality, I don't have this now at all as VHS slowly faded & bacame unwatchable.

[misfitsmad]

does anybody know where I could download this because it became a tradition in my family to watch this but we only had it on video and the video player broke so we bought a new one and I didn't know how to work it and accidently wiped all of it so if anybody had a link for this it would be much appreciated

:)
