The first one, Fluttering Hearts, is probably the best one, featuring Oliver Hardy. I'd give it 8/10
The next two episodes are ok, both featuring Hardy while the second was directed by Stan Laurel. 7/10 I'd give, Along Came Auntie, featuring Hardy, a 6 as it isn't as funny as the rest. I'd give Bromo & Juliet, , a seven as it is quite enjoyable at times. The next one, On the Front Page, is terrible, it wasn't enjoyable at all. 4/10
Next is This Is Your Life, with Laurel & Hardy. It's quite interesting as it shows their lives before their fame. In conclusion I'd give it 3/5.
Oliver Norvell Hardy was an American film actor. With Stan Laurel, he formed half of perhaps the most famous comedy partnership in film history, Laurel & Hardy. Hardy was born Norvell Hardy in Harlem, Georgia. In his first film, Outwitting Dad, Hardy chose to be billed as O N Hardy, taking his fathers first name as his own. From that time, he referred to himself as Oliver Norvell Hardy & eventually became most commonly known as simply Oliver Hardy. For details of Hardys career see the Laurel & Hardy article.

Arthur lived with his grandparents until the age of six when he then moved in with his father & began his education.

He later went to school in Bishop Auckland, Tynemouth & in Glasgow, where he finished his education & went to work in the box office of the Metropole Theatre, which his father managed. His father encouraged him to get into theatre management but Stan had other plans. At sixteen, he went to Mr. E Pickard for a ‘try out’ in his theatre. The act went reasonably well. Although his father did not like the idea, he encouraged him in the field of comedy.
