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)

I Don't be.....Overused phrase? Ok, One foot in a great box set.

Advantages: Absolutely brilliant at messing with your emotions, it has everything.
Disadvantages: Not a single one.

...me Victor when I'm on the phone complaining again. One thing I can't complain about is this great box set. Comprising of the full series 1-6 and the Christmas specials plus a couple of special features titled, "Britain's Best Sitcom" and "The story of One Foot in the Grave", there's certainly plenty of viewing. 12 discs in the set with 6 episodes per disc running for 30 min approx. The Christmas specials are roughly 60 to 90 min in length and are ...
...& Annette Crosbie respectively as The embittered and grumpy Victor Meldrew and his long-suffering and surprisingly patient wife Margaret. The series follows Victor & Margaret through Victor's recent early retirement as a security guard replaced by his modern equivalent, an electronic security system. Or by, "A box" as Victor so eloquently puts it. We are taken through Victor's subsequent days on end trying to amuse himself and find things to do ...

Review of Bottom - Series 1 To 3 (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 ...
