'A memory bursts into Iris's ragged mind, of Matron lying on her in that room, questioning, questioning. It is settled: this woman knows too much about the things Iris cares about, the things Iris was supposed to protect. Iris will have to see about that.' Mr Candid, JulesHardy pg 130

About the book ...
Advantages: Funny, clean humour that stands the test of time. Disadvantages: Absolutely none!
How do you define the funniest double act of all time?
It's easy really, what you have here is good old fashioned humour that doesn't involve sex, swearing or phoning an old man to boast about having sex with his grand-daughter.
You can keep all you modern "so called" humour and flush it where it belongs.
Laurel & Hardy despite their lack of the above mentioned "humour" have managed to do something that only modern comedians can dream about.

Advantages: It's got everything, absolutaly great! Disadvantages: Could have had more documentaries about them
Laurel and Hardy have brought humour to the world for decades now and their innocent comedy style is something no one can find fault with.
I have had this box set for over a year now and it is a must buy item. It has 21 DVDs categorised for easy finding on what you want to watch. Each DVD has it's own theme on Laurel and Hardy. A lot of the movies and shorts are available on the DVDs to watch in black and white or restored colour versions which i find excellent. So it will suite whatever your likes are.
Laughter, laughter, laughter. When you watch Laurel and Hardy enough you will begin to appreciate that you aren't just watching comedy actors but two absolute geniuses who's expertise in comedy as a duo has been unparrelled ever since. There is nothing more satisfying than having this box set. You have the complete work of two ...
