Screen One: Alive and Kicking (1991)
A TV series worth releasing as DVD
I remember watching this on British TV many years ago. At the time I thought the choice of two comedy actors - Lenny Henry and Robbie Coltrane - seemed a little absurd. However, at the time nobody really realised how much talent the two of them had as "straighr" actors. It was a revelation when they were able to show their true abilities as actors. What can I say, Robbie went on to Cracker and Harry Potter, and Lenny went on to Hope and Glory. Both have shown that there is far more to their talent than comedy. I have endlessly searched for a possible DVD release of Alive and Kicking but as yet without any success. Please BBC, this series must be added to your list of quality productions and is a golden oldie which definitely deserves to be remembered and have a second life as a DVD.
