Nellie, Joey, Jack, Adrian, Billy, Aveline and Freddie are the Boswells from Liverpool. They're experts at working the system and getting by with the help of Social Security payments and jobs on the side. Standing firm at the head of the family table is Nellie Boswell (Jean Boht), the matriarch who expects no nonsense, especially from husband Freddie who spends his time chasing Lilo-Lil. First broadcast in 1986, this release features every episode from Series One and Two of Carla Lane's Bread.

Meet the Boswells, a working-class family barely scraping by with the help of Social Security payments and the occasional odd job. Matriarch Nellie Boswell (Jean Boht) rules the familial roost and guards the paltry Boswell finances while work-shy father Freddie pops by for the occasional visit (when he's not busy womanizing). Sons Joey, Jack, Adrian, and Billy spend more time working the system than actually working, and daughter Aveline just wants to be a model. The blackly comic adventures of this Liverpudlian family are collected in this 3-disc set which includes every episode from series one and two.

It's a good deal, though not sure I could sit through 3 DVDs of Scouse. Also HMV is down for me, has been for days.
