DVD Review: Crazy English on Holiday in Spain
Summary: 5 Stars

Duty Free is a classic British sitcom. When David Pearce (Keith Barron) is made redundant after 20 years of service, he decides to live life to the fullest and take a gloriously indulgent package holiday in Spain, regardless of the fact that he can't afford it. David's wife Amy (Gwen Taylor of "Barbara" fame) sees it as a second honeymoon and agrees to the extravagance.

In Spain, they meet another couple, Robert and Linda Cochrane (Neil Stacy and Joanna Van Gyseghem). The comedy antics begin when David sets eyes on Linda and is immediately mesmerized. David sets out on a non-stop mission to impress Linda. Amy is quick to realize what is happening unlike Linda's husband Robert who remains completely in the dark. David, however, is determined to live out his flights of fancy as the sun and Sangria egg him on.

David and Linda begin an affair, as Robert becomes convinced that David is a transvestite, and Amy takes action to foil David's behavior. Much to the amusement of Carlos, the long-suffering waiter, the frolics and fantasies are never-ending.

The first series of seven episodes covered each day in the first week of the two-week vacation. The second series covers the remaining seven days. The third series is set eighteen months later when David and Linda attempt to meet secretly at the hotel, only to be foiled when Amy and Robert arrive there unexpectedly. The hour-long Christmas Special was shot on location in Spain and was the final episode of the series.

This boxed set includes the complete series (Series 1, 2, and 3 plus the Christmas special). Region 2, PAL disks.
