Featuring light entertainment legend Bruce Forsyth in his only sitcom role, Slinger's Day charts the trials and tribulations of the beleaguered manager of a London supermarket. This hilarious Thames series boasts scripts by veteran comedy writers Brian Cooke and Vince Powell, Sorry creators Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent, and novelist Alex Shearer. This set contains both series. Environmental protesters, a shoplifting epidemic, a burgeoning butter mountain and largely incompetent staff are just a few of the problems facing Cecil Slinger, the new manager of Supafare. And just how is he supposed to offload 560 packets of Jacobson's Savoury Fishcakes when no-one wants to buy them? Slinger has to concede that the public doesn't respond to lying, cheating and deception any more. Whatever happened to the old values?

Brilliant Brucie!
I ordered this impulsively for a bit of 1980s nostalgia and was pleasantly surprised to find it incredibly funny. It's one of those sitcoms where it all just clicks into place, the characters and the situations combining to make an extremely engaging, funny show. Bruce Forsyth is marvellous as the irascible but essentially kind-hearted supermarket manager, trying to run his store with it's eccentric staff and customers. Forsyth creates a very likable, sympathetic character and is well supported by the rest of the cast, in particular the legendary David Kelly. The situations are humorously bizarre but strangely plausible, played out with a mixture of word play and slapstick, with Forsyth razor sharp in both cases. Slinger's Day is huge fun, and a nice glimpse of a bygone era.
