Classic Cars - Ford, Austin And Morris (Box Set)

Advantages: Hysterical news parody
Disadvantages: Bit Outdated?

...of comedy with ‘whose line is it anyway’? , an improvisation show. The Comedy Store were creating classic comedy with their parodies of all things sacred. BBC 2 Strike back by bringing Chris Morris in to bat, fronting a mock television topical news show, sound familiar? The show generally starts with some reverent and totally irrelevant headlines with Morris being chairperson of proceedings. I’ve stolen a bit of script here to give you an idea…. Studio Interview Chris interviews Janet Breen who has spent the last 6 months organising a Jam Festival, with celebrity jam from Glennis Kinnock and Sebastian Coe - "Sebastian Coe? I hate Sebastian Coe!", raising £1500 - "That's a pathetic amount of money... you could make more money auctioning dogs!", "You could make more money sitting outside a tube station with your hat on the ground, even if you...

Advantages: Very dry sarcasm
Disadvantages: Not to everybodies taste.

...The day today television series originally aired on BBC2 in January 1994. Based on a BBC Radio 4 comedy entitled ‘on the hour’ .

Well Austin’s dad gets kidnapped by the evil Dutch gold guy (EDGG) and gets taken to the '70's. Austin goes after him in a time machine/car where he meets Foxy and she helps rescue his dad. From then on it is about Austin’s quest to save the world once again from Dr. Evil and the EDGG, who plan to destroy the world with their plan 'Preparation H', a giant laser beam. HOW DOES IT END? Well its got a very amusing end with a twist which fans of the other two films will find hilarious! (Don't worry I won't give it away) And Dr. Evil’s son turns evil. This and the funny end have obviously set it up for another film! Hooray! MY THOUGHTS. A very funny film with superb acting... Read review
