Duty Free S1 E1

[@fly7453]

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.

[@teleaddict23]

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.

[@zamiadams4343]

Eric was such a great man, well said.

[@paullynton-green6570]

Eric Chappel was so underrated.

[@philliplove9699]

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

[@flashtheoriginal]

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

[@Clem_Fandango11]

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

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

[@seltaeb3302]

Blatant infidelity ain't clean!

[@davidallitt]

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

[@Raider577]

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.

[@nigellee9824]

Well yes, they were all classic actors. That’s what made it…in my opinion

[@SUPER_WOLFMOON]

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

[@rajnirvan3336]

Yorkshire TV made some awesome comedies

[@cinemadics5722]

So underrated, I’m 17 and I was brought up on all these underrated gems, so lucky

[@adminemails]

Who underrated them? They were loved and highly rated.

[@the90sfattyfromtakethat]

Very underrated u r right, I’m an old git and can tell u it was quite popular at the time but has failed to stand the test of time.

[@the90sfattyfromtakethat]

ldn nowadays it is underrated, everyone of a younger age heard of OFAH and basil but this I bet not many.

[@andyhampshire1366]

made us all want to go on holiday awesome

[@absoluteacw]

Remains funny today. Well written.

[@marquonuk]

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. :-)

[@johnclarke7096]

I remember watching this absolute classic!

[@Enpassantful]

One of the best sitcoms ever.

[@Buster22Baxter]

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

[@MOGGS1942]

The entire series was filmed in Leeds. 😁😁

[@johnclarke7096]

@@MOGGS1942 I always wondered where it was filmed.....Now i know!

[@zeddeka]

I hate to think whereabouts in Spain you've been to if you think this is realistic

[@AlanJan_UK_49]

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.

[@algie-t2w]

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

[@MartysWhiteSuit]

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.

[@sm-ov1wh]

great show !!

[@Tampo-tiger]

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

[@barryroach1980]

Keith Barron so underestimated!

[@anthonypoole6417]

Keith Barron Annette Crosbie and Maggie O'Neill in Take me Home, it was a great drama.

[@lindastanley229]

Loved this programme.thankyou.

[@waderaney7]

This was 👍,always like the way Keith seemed to stumble over some lines,Neil resembled Peter Bowels,Gwen was a cutie,Jo was ok😉

[@marthamydear5869]

Wade Raney Peter bowels lol

[@beech18]

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

[@algie-t2w]

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.

[@Susyseashell]

I liked her at first, but after watching all 3 seasons she just comes off as desperate and needy

[@JulieRushworth]

Poor Amy married to a letch

[@marshalllucky]

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

[@the90sfattyfromtakethat]

No it wasn’t

[@marshalllucky]

@@the90sfattyfromtakethat you`ll find it was , Where do you think yorkshire television ( who made the series ) were based?

[@the90sfattyfromtakethat]

marshalllucky means absolutely nothing. it’s tv made for Yorkshire doesn’t have to be in Yorkshire, the ITV channels show different programmes and news for their local area. Have u ever heard of filming on location? Or Corrie is set in Manchester but the set ain’t there or Where is Leeds castle? Stop lying about some dodgy uncle from the 80’s.

[@marshalllucky]

@@the90sfattyfromtakethat my opening comment was that my uncle was a set builder, I think he knew where he worked , the studios are still there in kirkstall rd and have the interior sets for emmerdale .

[@MOGGS1942]

@@the90sfattyfromtakethat Yes it was. I've just been watching a show on ITV, and they said as much.

[@anthonybennett6351]

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

[@bokhans]

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

[@23rdjune]

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

[@siredith8846]

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

[@nigellee9824]

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

[@deanatkinsonfilm5403]

David. The most tone deaf character in British sitcom.

[@forresg500]

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

[@spidyman8853]

Yes indeed, BA used to be one of the best airlines in the world. I flew (in the early 80s) on a BA to Heathrow on TRI-STAR Lockheed and the service was second to none as well as the food. Oh and as a young boy in my early teens, got invited by the Captain to see the Captain and the flight crew in the cabin. WOW I was in ore.

[@jamierokerpark3623]

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

[@anthonypoole6417]

It was a great show, I'm sure Gwen and Keith are corpsing, around that time.

[@GirGir183]

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

[@byronlawsonjoce7562]

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

[@jonathanw844]

Always fond of Gwen Taylor

[@bobwallacejnr6852]

Annoying it is when the "Top Ten" comedies is always won by the awful Fawlty Towers and this fantastic programme is always overlooked.

[@swf4841]

Really?

[@23rdjune]

Duty Free is great, but Fawlty Towers 'awful'? I know it's personal taste and everything but FT is genius comedy writing with characters (Basil, Sybil, Manuel, The Major) that will live forever!

[@jameskid81]

This ok but Fawlty Towers it definately aint me old mucka!

[@michaelhughes4466]

Well, the two women in Duty Free are more sexy than those in Fawlty Towers, but FT is far funnier.

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

[@riccardo1401]

The TV shows were all recorded entirely at Yorkshire Television Studios in Leeds. Even the 'outside' shots were filmed inside the same studio. It was only the concluding 1986 Christmas Special which was (partly) filmed at the Don Carlos Resort & Spa in Marbella.
