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.

A Look into Every Mans Brain!

Advantages: Because of the new series the box set isn't complete, which means it will be cheaper!
Disadvantages: It isnt the complete box set so you'll have to buy the new dvds seperatly or wait for the new set!

Peep Show... The show that introduced David Mitchell and Robert Webb to our TV screens. Some men might not admit it but we all have a little Mark and Jeremy in us. The show highlights the insecurities and arrogances of the 2 main characters via a running commentary of their inner monologues and thoughts to hilarious effect. This show is about the day to day struggles of the modern man, they have a pretty immature outlook on life so its a humor probably ...
...on the box. Its a Peep Show into the lives of Mark, a geek who holds down a boring 9 - 5 job in finance, showing his uselessness with women and strange obsessive tendencies and Jeremy, Marks unemployed best mate who shares the flat struggling as a musician. Rather than try to outline the basic plot-line for you for the whole box set I would rather tell you about a few quotes that stick in my mind... Mark: "I'm about to walk into a boardroom gangbang ...

With live shows mixed in with exploration and tales ...

James could look after me anytime!

Advantages: Funny, touching, great acting
Disadvantages: None for me I could watch it over and over

...my favourite situation comedies was You Rang M’Lord and for Christmas Dave bought me the entire set of four series on DVD. The series was penned by Jimmy Perry and David Croft which, if you know anything about sit coms, means that it is going to be funny with a capital F! Intermingled with the humour are various touching moments which even managed to bring a tear to my eye - but then I am a big softie! He reunited Paul Shane, Jeffrey Holland and ...
