Missing Foggy - By: M. Baker, 10 Jun 2008 
For me, there's no doubt that Brian Wilde was the star of LOSW.
Whilst, at times, the compo character could be somewhat limited, Wilde was consistently funny, even in the [inevitable] weaker episodes....and Salllis always had the glib remark.
Brian brought in a suggestion of that voice quivering, from his 'Porridge' character - together with the condescention & 'superiority', that only a corporal sign-writer can apply...
Along with the later development of the ongoing Howard/Miranda 'debacle', it's Foggy, that possibly kept viewers watching & helped give the series it's deserved longevity....
RIP, Brian....you were just wonderful!
And thanks for another superb collection.....
GREAT GREAT GREAT nothing else says it like this - By: J. JOHNSON, 30 Apr 2008 I love this show & the way it makes me feel . The DVD is well produced & as usual the actors & the writing are the best . The characters always remain true to their 'character', to use a word again . This comes from the same writer, Roy Clarke, being the only writer since 1973 to ever write any of the shows . This is not the case when several writers are involved with a show over a period of time . You may get used to the way a character is & what to expect from them when another writer changes the character so much that you hardly recognize them as you had gotten use to . Form 1973 until the present this longest running comedy on British TV has remained true to form & I pray it will go on for many more years & that we will be able to purchase alll the episodes ever made . One sad note, from a reviewer on Series 9-10 which is due out in May of 2008; he says that he has found evidence that there will actuallly be no episodes from series 10 on this set callled Series 9-10 . It does seem as if he will be right if the running time of 440 minutes listed is correct . There were 12 episodes in series 9 & there is supposed to be 3 Christmas/New years Specials on the set also . There is no way that any more episodes could be on the set with only 440 minutes of running time . When you divide 440 by aproximately 30 minutes you see that this will come to about 15 episodes & there will be no way for the 6 or 7 epidodes from series 10 to be included . I only wonder what the next set will be callled & how Universal Playback UK will explain this to we buyers . In any case, I want alll of the episodes & hope we will have them available , in some form or the other . Some of the previous sets like 1-2 & 5-6 are hard to find & some say they may never be released again . Why, with a pouplar & wonderful show like this is it so hard to purchase them as we alll want ? Will we be forced to buy counterfeits sold on sites like Ebay in order to complete our collections ?
