Hello there,
I'm so glad that I found the complete guide to my favorite british sitcom when I was a kid. Complete with the review and episode guides too! How do you manage to find the episodes by the way? I'm really looking for S8E3, "Don't give a monkey's". Any chance you know where to find it?
Hi and sorry for not replying sooner. Thank you for visiting my website. I'm glad you were a Mike & Angelo fan. Most of the episodes on YouTube are on the same account. The uploader may be able to help with requests for specific episodes, if you leave a comment there.

Hello there,
I noticed your page about former CITV show "Mike and Angelo". I was just wondering. On the opening titles of the show, there is a voice-over with an American accent, telling us how the character of Angelo arrived in Mike and Rita's house in a wardrobe. And I was just wondering who is doing the voice-over for this piece.
When I saw the show in early January on the CITV channel, it sounded like Jon Lovitz, an American comic actor, who has been featured on The Simpsons a few times, and he also starred in a film in 2002 called "Rat Race" (also starring Rowan Atkinson, John Cleese and Whoopi Goldberg). So I was just wondering if that was his voice used in the opening titles of the show?
Is this correct?
Hi, Glenn. I was recently told by Lee Pressman that the voiceover was provided by Matt Zimmerman.

Fantastic site. Especially enjoyed the retrospective on Mike and Angelo. That accompanied me through my whole childhood.

Watched "Tango" with my 5 year old son. "What happened to all your hair Daddy?".

Hi guys! Have we been contacting Network DVD about releasing all 3 series of Spatz? Believe me the more requests they get to release all 3 series the more likely they will give in and go ahead with it. I can't do this on my own guys. Please lets do this. It's worth a try, spread the word and get everyone involved. WE WANT ALL 3 SERIES OF SPATZ ON DVD.

Looking forward to this - seeing the CITV repeat brought back memories of loads of episodes I haven't seen in years. Impressed by anyone who still has old VHS tapes of 'Spatz' - and can still find them!

My pleasure! I have a few others on VHS from the final series which I will get round to putting up soon :-)
Hi Everyone,
Well, it's now a week since CITV repeated 'Spatz' and it left me wanting another episode today!
I really think that if we pull together we can urge either CITV to show more episodes, or hopefully even urge Network DVD to release the entire series. I cam across a guy called Richard Saunders who wants to do just that. Check out the link below:
http://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/26537#P948106
He's already contacted Network DVD to suggest it, and they replied to him positively, as you'll see from the e-mail. They haven't said yes, but it sound like they would consider it - but they'll probably require more e-mails! If everyone can send them a similar e-mail then maybe - just maybe - it will happen. The fact that 270,000 people watched it last week proves that there must now be renewed interest in 'Spatz'.

Mark, thanks to you, two important people who were unable to watch Tango yesterday will now be able to: Paul Michael and Nicholas Parsons. So thank you!

Over Christmas I was overcome by an attack of nostalgia and I raided my old childhood VHS collection. I remembered how much I loved Spatz and what a big impact it had on me when I first saw it at the age of seven. Your website is amazing - thank you. Also just to let any Spatz fans know I've uploaded *most* of Driving Miss Wesley onto youtube, and the ballroom episode shown on CITV this morning. Type in 'Spatz 1992' to find them. Hope this brings back more memories!
Many thanks for uploading the episodes, Mark. If you find anymore I (and I'm sure many others) would like to see them. I have three episodes myself, and I plan to upload them as soon as I know how.

Congratulations, my friend. It must give you such pride to see some of the shows so revered here returning to the screen. Nostalgia circles will be noisy this weekend - and rightly so - but I hope that those who were there first with their admiration and commemoration (and have been for many years) are not forgotten.

Thanks so much for your brilliant website, and for keeping the memories of 'Spatz' alive. It was a wonderful show, and I'm looking forward to seeing 'Tango' repeated on Sunday. I've dug out my old videos and have found three episodes: I have about half of 'High Flyer' (Series 3, Episode 1), most of 'Fire Alarm' (Series 2, Episode 5) (with just the beginning cut off) and the whole of 'Loot' (Series 2, Episode 11). I remember we'd recorded 'Sing for Your Supper' (Series 1, Episode 11) but unfortunately it was accidentally wiped years ago. It was a great episode, and I'd love to see it again. If ONLY Fremantle would release the series on DVD. Fingers crossed...

Can't wait for the repeats! I seem to remember one episode in which Mike (Matt Wright) has a boxing match in the King's living room! Anyone know what that episode was called?

Not quite sure why I never signed this place in it's former incarnation but here I am now and it's great to see it back. Who knows after T.Bags been done on dvd perhaps Spatz and Mike & Angelo could follow suit?
