High Hopes is a glorious comedy, I have wonderful memories as a student watching this, and loving every second of it.
As a Welshman I can appreciate the characters, jokes and humour, and relate to them. Every single character is truly wonderful, big, zany and full of life.
If I'm honest, what made it for me was Mrs Hepplewhite, her stories from the past were side splitting, I was lucky enough to serve Margaret John, and ask about her time on the show, you can see how very obviously she and the others loved their time working on this.
It's wrong that it's never had a dvd release, it's enormous fun, and I'm sure would be loved, not just in Wales. 10/10
