I'd only seen a few episodes, but when I saw it available on DVD and including all eight series along with the movie, I just had to get it.

A television comedy which centres around the relationship between two neighbours, as they attempt to live and work together, and their long suffering wives. Highly popular and more than a little controversial Love Thy Neighbour consistently appeared in the top three programmes of the week throughout the majority of its eight-series run; even its repeats reached the top of the charts!The series uses made up words to insult each other, which couldnt be accused of racist because they were made up, were talking 50 years ago!
