For years, Britcoms were tucked away in late-night time slots on PBS or end-of-the-dial cable. Now you can have the best of the Brits in your DVD rack. Start out with the cult classic Father Ted, chronicling the antics of a band of wayward Irish Catholic priests who live in their own personal purgatory called Craggy Island (pictured). Father Ted: The Holy Trilogy ($60.99), the definitive five-disc DVD set, was just released on Feb. 19. The world’s longest-running sitcom is Last of the Summer Wine, which follows a pack of lovable old-timers spending their golden years living out their second childhoods. Look for Last of the Summer Wine: Vintage 1976, the DVD release of the 1976 season, this March ($18.69). In As Time Goes By ($153.98), Dame Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer play two lovers who reconnect late in life after a 38-year separation. By the time you get through all six seasons, the characters will feel like old friends. If your tastes are more Sid Vicious than Dame Judi, revel in The Young Ones ($53.99), in which a quartet of college-age losers unleash hilariously destructive chaos in their filthy London flat (it’s the comedy equivalent of a safety pin through the cheek). But even that may not prepare you for the self-centered, boozy, and drugged-up divas Edina and Patsy of the side-splitting Absolutely Fabulous ($106.98). Relative newcomer Ricky Gervais paints a wildly funny, sometimes bittersweet picture of office life in The Office ($39.99), the inspiration for the hit American series. Gervais’ latest is HBO’s Extras ($49.99), in which he plays a neurotic dreamer working his way up from two-bit extra to TV star; the show’s sly humor benefits from the unflattering cameos from big-time stars like David Bowie, Sir Ian McKellen, Daniel Radcliffe, and Orlando Bloom.
