Rab C Nesbitt is a British sitcom that was produced by the BBC. It starred Gregor Fisher, alongside Elaine C Smith, as an unwashed Glaswegian drunkard & was a feature of Scots comedy. While first broadcast in Scotland, it was later shown throughout the United Kingdom. The strong Glaswegian dialect made the show quite difficult for those not used to it.

Consumer DVD Review

Being as I have resided in the USA these last five years I have not been able to see Rab & Im glad to be able to tell you that I was most pleased to see Rab finaly released on DVD.

I had these series on VHS when I lived at home in the UK & there are no differences in this DVD & the tapes actualy they look like they have just been recorded straight on to DVD from the tapes & no extras.

Oh well not to worry as im a big fan of big rab & the gang I wasnt that upset about any extras I was just so glad to be able to watch these classic episodes again. Amazon give great service & I thorougly recommend them.
