"The Likely Lads" is the hilarious feature-length spin-off from the popular television series. Yet again the two lovable Geordies are up to their likeable necks in trouble. It begins when Bob's wife talks Terry and his Finnish girlfriend into touring the North of England in a caravan. And it ends with both like-minded lads running away to sea. With a fantastic script from Clement and La Frenais, "The Likely Lads" is vintage, essential British comedy. (DVD Sleeve Overview)
