CANNON Cannon relied on his guile to solve crimes and for this reason his fees were at the high end of the scale. It takes a big man to catch the big criminals.

Wayne Barrett from Staffordshire on Boon: "Loved the show when I was a schoolboy and beyond,just simply a great show. Now we can enjoy them all over again on dvd. Wish there were were extras though, such as on set interviews and behind the scenes-(I know these exist because They are on the extras on the "vampire motorcycle" dvd )and wish the prices were a bit cheaper! Best series are 4&5, being a Forest fan, it brings a warm nostalgic glow to remember those long hot summers of 89&90, my teenage years, and Forest winning at wembley in both those years Cloughie even appearing in the episode "Work, rest and play"! They sadly don't make shows like this anymore. R.I.P. Michael."
jackie thorneycroft from south yorkshire on The Darling Buds of May: "favourite from the

Carolina from Argentina on The Benny Hill Show: "I love Benny, from my chilhood i always remember, those wonderful eyes, i love U Benny..."
P. Bashor from Ohio, USA on Pie In The Sky: "We stumbled across "Pie in the Sky" when looking for movies to rent from Netflix, fell in love with it, and bought the entire series. Although I love every episode, I think one of my favorites is the one involving Hilary Smallwood, one of Henry's cooking idols. At the end, Seymour (her would-be lover for the past fifty years), sprinkles her ashes on the Thames from Albert Bridge and then attempts to read the introduction from one of her books as a fitting epitaph. But he breaks up and cannot go through with it. As Margaret places her arm around his shoulders, Henry reads it beautifully. And then Margaret lovingly tells Henry that what Hilary wrote about him when she signed his copy of her book (that Henry had the gift) was true. I can't watch that episode without tearing up every time. My husband and I love BBC TV and have many different series, but "Pie in the Sky" is certainly one of our favorites."
Gert from NL on Tommy Cooper: "Tommy, we miss you, we like you, and like you used to say to the box on the table, just opening it and closing it after saying Allright? Allright! So nobody knew what was in the box ;-P"
