This collection is a treasure trove for fans of classic British humor. ## Description The collected surviving episodes of the classic British sitcom starring Rodney Bewes and James Bolam as working class northern lads Bob and Terry. While Bob is trying to better his life, Terry is content to live it to the full, pursuing the ladies and supporting the local team. The set includes all eight surviving episodes from the 1960s series 'The Likely Lads', plus the 26 episodes from the two series of 'Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads' from 1973/4 and the 1974 Christmas special. Review: 1970s BBC comedy series that 40 years later is still extremely funny and applicable to present day societal issues - Having grown up in America, I had never seen The Likely Lads until buying this DVD box set a couple months ago on the recommendation of my English husband. He wanted to revisit a television series he remembered from his elementary school days (specifically the later series that aired in the 70s) and I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. I absolutely love this collection, particularly the later shows in colour. It's amazing how relevant the financial, personal, political and societal issues, that are covered in this series, are to today's same problems/issues in Britain! (I've lived in Britain since university). Even though the show primarily revolves around these two close friends and their conversations...it's never boring. I like the contrast between the two and the comedic tension it causes in their relationship(s). They both represent varying aspects and opinions of British society: one aspires to middle class life and all it's trappings while the other firmly holds onto his working class ideals and "old" Labour Party sentiments.....and they take the "mick" out of each for it and it's hilarious...self effacing English wit and humour at its best! I had never heard of these actors before...they're fantastic! I've watched the DVDs twice already! This particular set has all the series. Buy it, you won't regret it! Review: Well written, well performed, insightful and funny - A delight. The 60s episodes show their age a bit but the writing and performances throughout are top class. The 1970s episodes - exploring how the two main characters’ lives have diverged six or seven years on - are a treat. It’s very funny and a real insight into an era and a particular social milieu ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000GY788W | | Actors | Brigit Forsyth, James Bolam, Rodney Bewes | | Aspect Ratio | 4:3 - 1.33:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 10,590 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 1,769 in Box Sets (DVD & Blu-ray) 1,822 in Comedy (DVD & Blu-ray) 2,030 in Television (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (892) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 5014503211028 | | Language | English | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 6 | | Product Dimensions | 3.8 x 18.7 x 13.2 cm; 280 g | | Release date | 16 Oct. 2006 | | Run time | 16 hours and 50 minutes | | Studio | 2 Entertain Video | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Brigit Forsyth, James Bolam, Rodney Bewes - **Format:** PAL - **Genre:** Comedy, Kids & Family - **Language:** English - **Number of discs:** 6 ## Images ![The Likely Lads Collection (6 Disc BBC Box Set) [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lbh32XLnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1970s BBC comedy series that 40 years later is still extremely funny and applicable to present day societal issues *by P***L on 8 March 2013* Having grown up in America, I had never seen The Likely Lads until buying this DVD box set a couple months ago on the recommendation of my English husband.

The 60s episodes show their age a bit but the writing and performances throughout are top class. The 1970s episodes - exploring how the two main characters’ lives have diverged six or seven years on - are a treat. It’s very funny and a real insight into an era and a particular social milieu ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All surviving TV shows on DVD for a mere tenner. *by F***R on 25 January 2016* An excellent reminder of how life for a couple of Geordie lads was in the 60's & 70's.This is one of the rare comedies of that era that travels time well and is still funny, as well as still being apt, in the 21st century rather than making you cringe with embarrassment like a lot of comedies of that era do ('Love thy neighbour' and 'On the buses' are two such examples). My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed every episode. Had the set included the 'Likely Lads' film as well then I would have given it 6 stars if that were possible. If you are of a certain age then buy it and relive those times again. If you are too young to remember TLL/WHTTLL the first time around then do you self a favour and invest a tenner to see what you missed. It'll be one of the best tenners that you ever spent. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/49155662-the-likely-lads-collection-6-disc-bbc-box-set-dvd](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/49155662-the-likely-lads-collection-6-disc-bbc-box-set-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
