This has to be my favorite musical of all time. It is nearly perfect in structure with an upbeat operatic feeling - Like La Boheme. I produced this with my high school in the 70's, and our ensemble was wonderful. This excellent BBC production is a treasure.
I performed this in highschool many years ago, playing the part of Arpad. Someone had this on tape back then and showed it to me. I've been hunting vigorously for it ever since. Thank you so much for posting this. I'd all but given up on ever seeing it again.
ah yes, she loves me. been wanting to see this show, thanks for posting. such a nice story, based on "the shop round the corner", and so was "in the good old summer time", and "you've got mail". the idea never gets old!
Never seen or heard of this. Enjoyed it very much no idea Robin Ellis from Poldark could sing. Thank you. P.S now if only someone would download the film 'Why not stay for Breakfast' with Gemma Craven i'd really appreciate that.
Oh my gosh!!! What a great Christmas present it is, to have found this by chance. LOVE this score, & story, & I've never gotten to see a production of it. This looks lovely, & I THANK YOU! Can this version be bought commercially? Anyway, I'll be watching this later tonight. Yay!
Robin Ellis has a Facebook page now where he writes about food & life in rural France. His cookbook comes out in August 2011 in the UK: Delicious Dishes for Diabetics, A Mediterranean Way of Eating.

I love how stylized the choreography is for Sounds of Selling-- it reminds me of the Ascot races scene in My Fair Lady. Such a fantastic song!
Thank you so much! I haven't seen this in years and always wished I could.
I didn't know this version was filmed. Awesome.
Thank you for posting this. I love watching it.
Thank you for posting this! I just bought the CD, and now I get to watch the musical, too!
Love the opening number - very charming. Haven't ever seen or taken it in... very nice share thanks.

Robin's blog is robin-ellis(dot)net. It's about life in France and cooking/food/animals.
where'd you get this! i've been looking for this for thirty years. is it for sale somewhere? thanks so much for posting this.
Is that the man who plays Wallace of "Wallace and Gromit"?
Full disclosure: I bought a bootlegged VHS copy of this years ago. A week's worth of pe food..
A little stagy but a lot of fun!
I love this musical, but the soundtrack out of sync and it's driving me crazy!
Poorly directed. Frequent unnecessary changes to libretto. What a mess!
