Outside Edge - Complete Box Set [Repackaged] DVD

Brenda Blethyn (Pride and Prejudice) and Robert Daws (Jeeves and Wooster) star as the prim and precise Miriam and Roger Dervish, with Josie Lawrence (Marple) and Timothy Spall (Auf Wiedersehen Pet) as their bright and bohemian friends Maggie and Kevin Costello. This ratings-winning complete collection of all three series unites the Costellos and Dervishes - as different as chalk and cheese but thrust together through the men's love of cricket - in the idyllic world of a middle-England village cricket team, which is the very thin veneer atop a seething hotbed of emotion, laughter and one-upmanship. An immense ratings success and highly popular with the public, Outside Edge regularly attracted an average of ten million viewers, winning "Best Comedy Drama" at the 1994 British Comedy Awards, which also saw Brenda Blethyn winning "Best Comedy Actress". Richard Harris won the Writers' Guild Award for "Best Situation Comedy". This complete series box set contains all three series, the Christmas Special and the original Outside Edge play from 1982 starring Prunella Scales (Fawlty Towers) and Paul Eddington (Yes, Minister).
