About this deal

Paul Nicholas and Jan Francis are outstanding in their roles as Vince - the cockney unreliable Jack-the-lad with a witty one-liner for every occasion - and Penny - the posh prim and proper lady. Exacerbating Vince and Penny's predicament are both sets of parents, Vince's - Les and Rita - are all leopard print and Brylcreem, whilst Penny's - Daphne and Norman - are quite the opposite, wine tasting and twin set types.

Insisting that they would remain ‘just good friends’ but with emotions resurfacing a classic love-hate, on-off relationship is (once again) established. After years of telling my children that Just Good Friends was the best thing ever on TV, especially the Christmas special. For items that are dispatched using our standard service, we ask that you wait 14 days from the date of dispatch before reporting any items as undelivered.Nicholas’ Vince has a touch of the Del Boy about him, Sullivan not always making it clear if he is the cad he often appears, which has the effect of making him a curiously unsympathetic leading man. When Vince got cold feet and left Penny standing at the altar, Penny got on with her life and tried to forget Vince once and for all. There are one or two of the plot lines that aren’t very believable and some of the characters are a bit OTT but overall I can strongly recommend this box set. Last time they saw each other was just before Vince left Penny standing at the altar, so he's got some explaining to do.

When Vince got cold feet and left Penny standing at the altar Penny got on with her life and tried to forget Vince once and for all. Whether you're looking for a specific series/season, or a complete DVD box set collection, then we can do the hard work for you! Half the time you aren't even aware a joke is being set up, something Sullivan is particularly good at.

Whether you're looking for a newly released movie, a TV box set, or even a classic film - you'll find what you need in our categories. In 'Caught on a Shoulder Strap', Penny comes to the wrong conclusion after seeing Vince and the bride together at a friend's wedding.Both are sharp, funny people who haven't found their other relationships anywhere near as much fun (Vince is quick with the one-liners; when asked if he knows what a vegan is: "Absolutely, I never miss an episode of Star Trek"), or as much trouble. In it's time it was a lovely antidote to the harsh realities of the early 80s and it is even more of a magical escape from the grim life of 2017 Britain.

We will publish your review of Just Good Friends - Series 3 [1986] on DVD within a few days as long as it meets our guidelines. Insisting that they would remain 'just good friends' but with emotions resurfacing a classic love-hate, on-off relationship is (once again) established.Loved the Christmas special which was effectively a prequel of how they got there and what happened before.
