Two In Clover - The Complete Series [DVD][1969]

Product Information

In 'Two in Clover' Sid Turner (Sidney James) and Vic Evans (Victor Spinetti) are fed up of their nine to five job, so they buy a holding farm in Finchley. They call it Clover Farm. They know nothing about farming and find the country locals unwelcoming to the townies, especially from the local Policeman Cecil Armitage (Bill Pertwee) and the local pub landlord who is called Dan in the first series and Tom in the second (Victor Platt, a bit of a balls up here). Farming adventures occur, such as the stress of Fanny the Cow being made pregnant, financial problems occur and as Sid James is in it, problems occur when Sid has had one too many beers and again because Sid's in it, there is some fun with the birds as well (not just the feathered variety). Sid James and Victor Spinetti both put in great performances with great comic rapport. Two city clerks, Sid Turner (James) and Vic Evans (Spinetti), abandon the nine-to-five to run a small farm out in the country. A recurring theme throughout the two series was Sid's love of his Friesian cow "Fanny".

The two played Sid Turner and Vic Evans, two stressed out nine til fivers who decide to quit their jobs as filing clerks and take up farming.

Though Sid James plays more or less the same kind of character in everything he stars in, there is no denying he is a natural when it comes to comedy. Victor Spinetti likewise is a comedy legend in his own right.

Tired of life in the rat race, the two friends decide to retreat to the country. They buy a farm in the village of Fletchley, but it isn’t long before the two city-dwellers relise that farm life is much more difficult than they thought. Six years after 'Clover' began, the much more remembered self sufficiency sitcom 'The Good Life' came to our screens. 'The Good Life' is a classic sitcom in my opinion, yet I preferred 'Clover' I wonder how much inspiration John Esmonde and Bob Lareby got from 'Two in Clover'?
