Mocked in some quarters, this is nonetheless a decent low-budget comedy series with a seri-comic love triangle plot, played by a strong lead cast. :-)

I love this show but my 9 year old doesn't understand the canned laughter .. old school ...

Pure eighties, brown tie and beige shirts....remember them well.....

Poor Gwen with a middle aged perm, she was still young. She looked hot in the Rutles as nastys wife chastity

First time watching this, i love it, but want to shake Amy, and David..

Loved this programme.thankyou.

11:23 oh that’s Agnes Moorhouse from Yes Prime Minister. She was very attractive back then.

made us all want to go on holiday awesome

How do we buy this if we're in America?

great show !!

Heartwarming. My family came to Birmingham from Italy, in 1893.

6:10 I can't remember what that was a reference to. See it, touch it, taste it. Can anybody remind me?

1:36 Ha, ha....most of the time.

Why have a hamburger when you have a steak at home😉

Always fond of Gwen Taylor

How did they get that opening shot going right around a 737 in flight? It's incredible.

Pure gold! If only we had the talent to make such great tv today... Thank you!

Just going through some old VHS tapes and came across "Barbara". Gwen and Sam Kelly + all the other brilliant cast. One episode had Joanna VG in the script. Still gorgeous and that's why I came here to see Duty Free. Nothing like this to be seen today. More's the pity.

Grit your teeth and hang on! Ha, ha!

It was bloody good. And it still is. The strength? The casting and the scripting. Truly funny. Great post Lucky Pearce 🤣😅👍

Brilliant series back in the day. But if you see someone wearing a suit on holidays you would think it odd.

Used the music at beginning

I enjoyed it, though never understood it in a way. David is married to a beautiful woman, yet yearns after a fake clothes horse. Wish David and Amy had had their own show now.

I wish KZbin would stop deleting episodes of this very funny series. Plenty other programmes are out on dvd but they leave those alone.

Poor David, married to one of those truly ghastly soul-destroying wives, who are unrelentingly negative to everything their husband says or does. Although, Amy does have the most beautiful soulful eyes.

Great to watch whilst eating pizza from Glastonbury Wood-Fired Pizza Co

I remember watching this when I was 12,had me in hysterics then,& still does,classic comedy

Sargant Hicks! From Fraud Squad ......

😊

Love ur Amsterdam videos mate

David. The most tone deaf character in British sitcom.

Very much like ”Don't Drink the Water” from 1974-1975.

When it was on in the Eighties I found it slightly amusing. But after watching the repeats now on Forces TV and compared to the comedy nowadays it's absolutely hilarious.

Our entire family used to sit around and enjoy this great series together and I still think of some of the scene's even today. one of the best tv shows of the time. I have been looking around for them for years and will binge watch them over the next few days. Thank you very much for sharing them and bringing back happy memories and making me giggle yet again.

classic comedy

You can't beat a clean comedy. Classic 80s. You never get tired of it.

15 min 50..when amy pushes linda in the pool !!!!..g8 show

Remains funny today. Well written.

Some of the show was filmed in Spain. Confirmed In an interview in 2014 which you can see on KZbin.

Hysterically beige.

That poor woman having to deal with such a jerk of a husband! Leave the SOB while your still young, Amy!

Love the serious guitar music at the beginning that then morphs into the upbeat tempo holiday music.

Eric Chappell was the man for ITV comedies back in the day. He wrote at least one series a year starting with Rising Damp 74-78. Only When I Laugh 79-82. Duty Free 83-86. I love them all and i enjoy watching them back to back every few years for a good laugh.

I remember watching this absolute classic!

Love the British Airways plane with then livery. British Airways in my opinion meant something then with food as part of ticket price even on short haul no better then Ryan Air now treated with same content Classic comedy though

This was the best! Love 80s British comedies! Always thought Spain is like this and it is.

One of the best sitcoms ever.

Gwen Taylor (Amy) is Peggy Armstrong from Heartbeat! True.

my uncle was one of the set builders ,it was actually filmed in Leeds !
