British comedy at it's best - By: K Mc, 31 Aug 2008 
All the family enjoyed these programmes when shown on TV,so both series were bought when they became available. These programmes are of a type we will probably never see again as producers appear to have lost interest in the 'gentle comedy' My children loved this programme when first aired & although now much older still enjoy them, thanks to DVD.
I had noticed that the first series was to include the pilot show but up to now none of the family has been able to locate it,has anyone else found it,if so,where? 'See the Clumberfield through Mr Skinner'...
British comedy at it's very best - By: JL Stephenson, 12 May 2008 Oh Doctor Beeching is quite simply British Comedy at it's very best. It is easy to watch, relaxing, old fashioned entertainment that can be enjoyable for alll the family. Oh Doctor Beeching is from a period of comedy writing that has sadly slipped away with the passing of time but should be a must see for alll those who enjoy truly entertaining nostalgic comedy.

Try the sister show - By: Bentos, 06 Sep 2006 If you like this superb British comedy then try the even better You Rang M'Lord, David Croft written & a lot of the same cast. Both excellent examples of British comedy.

Gentle comedy at its best - By: P. Tipton, 15 Nov 2005 Like other reviewers, the release of the DVD of the first series was the first opportunity I'd had to revisit this classic & oft-forgotten comedy from the pen of David Croft & collaborators. The acting is provided by the informal repetory company of Croft & Perry, perhaps best-known for their forays into holiday camp life courtesy of Hi-De-Hi. Su Pollard, in particular, offers a performance filled with the gusto we've come to expect from this national treasure. The setting is country railway sation at the end of its time on the railway network map, & the series follows the trials & tribulations of its merry band of old retainers. I'm sad to say that I could never now envisage the BBC commissioning another series that bore any resemblance to these slow-burning, gentle & amusing half-hours. Times change, & this DVD offers a look back at the end of the era of true situational comedy.
