The Burkiss Way

Complete Series

By: Andrew Marshall, David Renwick

Narrated by: Chris Emmett, Denise Coffey, Fred Harris, Full Cast, Nigel Rees

Now available together for the first time are all six episodes from the first series of classic comedy from David Renwick (who went on to write One Foot in the Grave), Andrew Marshall (who later wrote 2point4 Children) – and Eric Pode (of Croydon). Includes: 'Peel Bananas The Burkiss Way’, in which you can learn the best techniques for peeling bananas and how to get people off lightly; 'Pass Examinations The Burkiss Way’, which teaches you how to astound your friends by appearing on shows like The Auntie Quiz and ‘Escape From Prison The Burkiss Way’ (‘The Burkiss Special with James Burkiss’); which sees the team proving to be experts on escaping from prison. There's also ‘Solve Murders The Burkiss Way’, in which The New Faces Impressionist Squad try to solve a murder; ‘Keep Unfit The Burkiss Way', featuring tips on putting on weight, being fat and being repellently ugly and ‘Win Awards The Burkiss Way’, where you could receive – absolutely free! – a Gullibility Award.

Fantastic series only hinted at here

This is only six episodes of some 48 episodes of the series. It is lively, clever and, I think, better than the "Pythonesque" comparison most commonly employed in describing it.

There is no Burkiss. "How do do (something) the Burkiss Way" is just a "hook" for the amazing collection of skits, superbly written and flawlessly performed. Be sure to look out for the false ... The Burkiss Way had just end ... Now to the continuity announcer ...

I have played these ten times or more.
