Vicar of Dibley, The Complete Collection

Advantages: Complete collection
Disadvantages: still not so many episodes

...is the complete collection of Vicar of Dibley series. However it doesn't include Comic Relief 2007 special. (By the way, for those who don't know - this year comic relief special was the last episode of Vicar of Dibley in history. They stop making specials from now on). We are going through it at the moment and it is really really funny and nice. Before buying it though, I thought there would be many more episodes than there actually is but it is ...

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 ...

Review of Peep Show - Series 1-5 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Classic British Comedy at its best!

Advantages: Laughter in a box!
Disadvantages: Visiting the hospital after your sides have split with laughter!

Having purchased the Monty Python box set from Amazon I couldn't wait for the legends of British comedy to arrive at my door. Luckily this wasn't too much of a wait because as always the purchase to door delivery service offered by Amazon is always one of speed! Now I could review each film from start to finish in detail covering all the comedic genius of John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle etc... however this would be very unfair to the perspective ...
...a fantastic collection of films away from you. All I will say is the battle for the holy grail is a tough one, I now know the meaning of life, I without a doubt experienced something completely different and soon realised that he's not the messiah, oh no, he's a very naughty boy! This box set contains the genius that created a blueprint for many of the comedy shows we see today and will always remain intelligent, classic British comedy at its very ...

Review of Monty Python - The Movies (Box Set) (DVD)

Too many movies too many similarities

Advantages: Pretty funny if you like slapstick humour, has bonus features
Disadvantages: Too much of a muchness, generally pretty expensive

...all 7 of the original Police Academy movies. They vary in classification, with the original movie being 15 rated, the sequel and the 4th film is 12 rated and the others (the 3rd, 6th & 7th movies) being PG. That being the case, im sure kids (about 7 or 8 years or older) would find the PG ones pretty funny. I saw these movies when I was younger and remembered getting a good laugh from them, hence why I bought it. I've got to say, im not overly convinced ...
...movies are as follows:- Police Academy (the original movie) (the 'complete collection' boxset includes the '20th Anniversary Special Edition' version) Police Academy 2 - Their First Assignment Police Academy 3 - Back in Training Police Academy 4 - Citizens on Patrol Police Academy 5 - Assignment Miami Beach Police Academy 6 - City Under Siege Police Academy - Mission to Moscow (the 7th and last movie) The movies are all about a bunch of police ...
