Review of Only Fools And Horses - The Complete Series 1 To 7 (Box Set) (DVD)

Laurel & Hardy, Laughs above the rest.

Advantages: Funny, clean humour that stands the test of time.
Disadvantages: Absolutely none!

...it where it belongs. Laurel & Hardy despite their lack of the above mentioned "humour" have managed to do something that only modern comedians can dream about. They kept the world laughing consistently for years and have continued to do so 60 years after their deaths. I don't know any modern "great" that I'd remember and still be talking about in a year if he disappeared today. There is one exception and I just did a review on that yesterday, but ...
...a nice box with the Laurel & Hardy logo and a pic of the happy two on the top & sides. Opening the box you are presented with a row of real DVD disc boxes, not the usual cardboard or pocket type rubbish. Each disc spine has the part of a picture that makes up the duo's bowler hats when stacked together. The discs are numbered 1-21 with the last one having a title "A special tribute to the boys" along with other comedy shorts. Please note that the ...

The Complete Only Fools And Horses - Not Made Like This Anymore

Advantages: Complete story of only fools, neat lay out, excellent viewing
Disadvantages: Still fairly expensive

The Complete Only Fools and Horses chronicles every single episode from the seven series', as well as each feature length and Christmas special. It is extremely well laid out, in chronological order, so that the show can be watched from start to end with no fuss. The DVDs are all top quality, the sound and pictures are excellent so viewing pleasure is not inhibited in any way. The packaging is also small enough to fit on to shelves, something not ...
...when it first came out, the price. Nearing £200 it was a lot of money for a show that doesn't run anymore, even one as revered as this. Since then, however, the price has fallen by half and so is very much the bargain for any only fools/comedy fan. In my opinion, if you're a fan of the show, a fan of comedy, or just a plain old casual viewer, get this. Apart from being iconic in its potrayal of british life, it is excellent fun. One for all the ...

Pinnacle of wiity banter

The complete Blackadder set is basically a must have for comedy fans. It consists of every Blackadder episode from all 4 series, Blackadder's Christmas Carol and also 'Back and Forth'. These 6 discs are all neatly housed in a compact box set, with hilarious Blackadder quotes and pictures of the characters around the box. FIRST SERIES. The first series, entitles 'The Black Adder' is set in medieval England, and portrays the Prince Edmund, Rowan Atkinson, ...
...The second series, entitled Blackadder II, is set in Queen Elizabeth's reign, and see a sharp turn in character personality, as Blackadder becomes a newly intelligent and respected man, whereas Baldrick becomes thick as a thick thing. We are also introduced to Queen Elizabeth and Melchett. Two of the funniest characters in all series, brilliantly played by Miranda Richardson and Stephen Fry. THIRD SERIES The third series, Blackadder III, is set in ...

Review of Blackadder - Complete Blackadder (Limited Edition Box Set) (DVD)

This film spins me right round - the wedding singer

Advantages: Funny and lighthearted , great characters
Disadvantages: None

In my opinion The Wedding Singer is a fabulous feel good film. I first watched this film back in 1999 when I purchased it on VHS. It was one of my favourite films and more recently I purchased this on DVD so I could watch it again. The story of The Wedding Singer is based around two main characters. One of these is Robbie Hart who is the best wedding singer in town. He is happy, uplifting and always manages to save the day at weddings even when the ...
...Julia has just moved to the town to be closer to her fiancé Glen. She has got herself a job as a waitress with her cousin Holly at the hall where all the towns' weddings, birthdays etc get put on. This is the same hall where Robbie works. Julia and Robbie soon become friends but Robbie's good mood soon goes when his marriage to his fiancé Linda doesn't happen. Robbie turns from a happy go lucky guy into an angry and bitter man. This doesn't stop ...
