About this deal

Jan Francis, who was better known for more serious fare such as Secret Army, revealed comedy chops she had never had the chance to show before. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. John Sullivan's 1983 hit sitcom Just Good Friends bucks this trend; it even seems quite modern today. We also sell a wide range of refurbished Mobile Phones and Tech from major brands like Apple, Samsung, Sony, Microsoft and much more.

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. She’s a real bunny boiler hell bent on not just splitting up Vince and Penny but taking half his fortune. The son of an MI6 agent, Nicholas had, like Vince, got quite far seemingly just on charm and cheek, with a resume that included musical theatre (lead roles in Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar and Grease), movie turns in Tommy and the bizarre flop Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and a string of novelty records starting with the David Bowie produced and written Over The Wall We Go and going on to such grim gems as Reggae Like It Used To Be. Five years, and a chance meeting later, Penny's feelings are rekindled, feelings that she thought were gone forever.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. 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. We previously used to have some sections where we listed box sets by the year they were released, which you can still look through: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016. Insisting that they would remain 'just good friends' a classic love-hate, on-off relationship is (again) established.

It doesn't go hard after laughs, the pace is deliberate rather than desperate, the sit is given just as much importance as the com. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. Note: Our refurbished grades - Pristine, Very Good and Good - are solely based on the cosmetic condition of the phone.

Taking some time off from detailing the adventures of Del and Rodney, John Sullivan instead turned his attentions to Vince (Paul Nicholas) and Penny (Jan Francis) for Just Good Friends (Eureka TV), the BBC One romantic comedy which pitched viewers into the lives of a once-engaged couple whose relationship had ended when bridegroom Vince failed to turn up to his wedding. Loved the Christmas special which was effectively a prequel of how they got there and what happened before. In 'I Don't Want to See You Again', Vince asks Penny to move in with him - but how will they break it to her parents? Last time they saw each other was just before Vince left Penny standing at the altar, so he's got some explaining to do.

Written by John Sullivan (Only Fools and Horses Citizen Smith) this is a classic story of love lost and found where the question on everyone's lips is will Vince and Penny remain just good friends'? It's only when we follow Vince out to the car park that we see he had a group of his tough mates waiting to help him out: "He bottled it," Vince tells them. Written by John Sullivan (Only Fools and Horses, Citizen Smith), this is a classic story of love, lost and found, where the question on everyone’s lips is will Vince and Penny remain ‘just good friends’?

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. 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. 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. this series was and still is one of the best i have ever watched and i thought there were fine performances all round especially the role of penny by jan francis. Series 1 episodes are: 'After All This Time', 'Hello Again', 'Let's Spend the Night Together', 'Fatherly Advice', 'I Don't Want to See You Again', 'Happy Birthday, Penny' and 'Moving in.

Insisting that they would remain ‘just good friends’ but with emotions resurfacing a classic love-hate, on-off relationship is (once again) established. 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.This is a series which it’s hard not to like, a not entirely cosy sitcom that will resonate with anyone who has loved and lost and loved again. What had millions of viewers laughing like drains in the 70s and 80s is often met with stoney-faced silence these days, the hairstyles and clothes generating more laughs than the actual gags. All fourteen episodes from the first two seasons of the comedy series about the problematic relationship between Vince (Paul Nicholas), an East End bookmaker, and Penny Warrender (Jan Francis), an upmarket girl from Chipping Ongar. Insisting that they would remain 'just good friends' but with emotions resurfacing a classic love-hate on-off relationship is (once .
