Review of Will Hay (Box Set) (DVD)

Typical men... and women of course

Advantages: comedy and banter at its best
Disadvantages: none really

...typical of a lot of men of their age, being interested in only certain things, ie sex and booze…, (come on all you blokes out there, let's not lie about it, when you were at that age what else was on your mind?) The relationship problems between Gary and Dorothy are just typical of a normal relationship, the arguments, the pressure, the lack of certain things that disappear when a relationship blossoms, giving the program an air of realism. In ...
...on the wall documentary following the struggling lives of four individuals as they go through life… (sort of) ** THE BOX SET ** The package cover states what to expect from the discs inside, showing the main characters, together with what their life's is about… beer, television, takeaways and more beer… It does exactly what it says on the tin…???? Inside the package, when unfolded, there are 6 disc, (obviously)… giving the viewer over 16 hours ...

Review of Men Behaving Badly - Series 1-6 - Complete (DVD)

Abuse your neighbour

Advantages: Shows people how not to behave, the occasional laugh
Disadvantages: Offensive, not that funny for a comedy

...there is much doubt that Love Thy Neighbour would not pass the censors in this day and age. Insults fired at Bill by Eddie include: 'sambo', 'chocolate drop', 'nig nog', 'choc ice'...the list goes on. Even more insulting is the manner in which the insults are delivered, as if there is no doubt in Eddie's mind, which of course there isn't, that he is right and non-whites are stupid and incompetent. Bill flings a few barbs back at Eddie: 'pale-face' ...
...I have seen enough of Love Thy Neighbour to last me a lifetime. In its day, I'm sure it had its place, and hopefully, may have encouraged some to see the error of their racist ways. Today though, it just feels offensive - and I really don't think I am an overly sensitive person. Some may think that it is worth watching just as a reminder that racism isn't quite as bad these days, but I would be dubious about showing it to impressionable children, ...

Review of Love Thy Neighbour - The Complete Series 2 - Plus Two Bonus Episodes (DVD)

Worth A Watch?

Advantages: Hilarious stuff
Disadvantages: Limited extra's and short

General In this DVD Tom Green visits Japan with his unique brand of toilet humor. The MTV Subway Monkey Hour is exactly what you'd expect from Tom Green. If you aren't familar with his work then I suggest you try to catch his Show when possible (it shows on MTV in most countries). Tom's Brand of Humor is very much like that of Trigger Happy TV and Howard Stern. What's on the DVD? There are many skits provided on the DVD including (the skits are ...
...a Godzilla costume - **** Tom strips off in a zoo and pretends that he doesn't understand Japanese - **** Tom dresses as a Fork and wanders around a hotel at 3am waking people to tell them about forks - *** Tom sings his 'Pizza Pie' song in front of an audience - *** Tom plays drums with a Japanese band until he literally ripped from the stage - *** Tom visits a temple with a megaphone - **** Tom dresses as Elvis and sings in the streets of ...

Review of Tom Green - Subway Monkey Hour (DVD)

The Definitive PORRIDGE.

Advantages: THE BEST SITCOM EVER !!!
Disadvantages: N.O.T.H.I.N.G.

Porridge - The Complete Series Box Set Contains all series 1,2 and 3 And the Christmas Specials. Written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. This is my all time favourite comedy. Time line: ~~~~~~~ It all began on the 1st of April (aptly enough) in 1973 when a pilot aired on the BBC called ‘Prisoner and Escort’. It followed Norman Stanley Fletcher being escorted to Prison by Mr McKay and Mr Barrowclough. Fletch ...
...BBC Britain's Best Sitcom on Porridge in full (approx 1 hour). No Way Out (Christmas Eve 1975) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In his innocence, Godber is looking forward to Christmas, but fletch knows that if, ''there's one big event around here, it's not the coming of our lord, it's the leaving of Tommy slocombe". And this Christmas, he is determined to stay well clear of the tunnelling Tommy slocombe, his dodgy mates and their even dodgier plans for ...
