Alan Partridge Presents The Cream Of British Comedy - Teenage Cancer Trust DVD

Advantages: Never gets old! You can watch it again and again!
Disadvantages: That no other comedy matches up to it!

...The second and unfortunately the last series of "I'm Alan Partridge" is a DVD that you cannot fail to worship and laugh out loud to. I especially liked the episode "The Colour of Alan" where he accidently pierces his foot on a spike (or a spiiiiiikkkkkeeee as Alan would put it) and then proceeds to do a presentation on fire-places with intervals of being sick on his foot. Yes, sounds interesting indeed. The series is full of annedotes that will stay in your memory forever and annoy your friends till the grave. The characters are colourful and hillarious and aid in the pure genius of the comedy. The scenarios are inventful and create many cringe-worthy and memorable moments. Special features are plentiful and are as good as the actual series. It is worth buying the DVD just to check out the main menu, i have never seen anything like... Read review

Advantages: halarious
Disadvantages: cxant think of any

...i am a man of great comedy, i do not laugh at just anything. steve coogan is one of my favourite comedians of all time.

My favourite scene really does have to be were alans friend tries to make toast in a microwave and then alan says, and i quote "That's not toast Michael, thats hot floppy bread!" the sarcasm that it is said with could make an elephant laugh. The humor of alans sarcasm is absolutely halarious and i would reccomend it to absolutely anyone... Read review

Disadvantages: Dry storylines (but perhaps with reason). High expectations piled upon it because of it's predecessors.

...of the shows. It was thus inevitable that the series would released on DVD, and within six months of the original broadcast, the BBC released the series on a nice double DVD box set. The DVD itself comes with 2 Discs, presented in your average click shut DVD case, is attractive but plain. An image of Alan in a signature pose against a red back drop, is nice in it's simplistic manner, but the BBC could have been a little more creative. The DVD menus are hilarious and I mean that. A moving image of Alan air guitaring to U2 in the background is very very funny, however on the second disc a conveyer belt of Alan's books being sent to be pulped just doesn't have the same effect. The menus are easy to navigate through, and all keep to the similar Partridge theme. Characters (Apart from Alan who needs no introduction): Michael: Having moved up from... Read review
