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

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 ...

...apply in the case of Two Pints. If you get it, then you will love it and savor it for the comedy gold that it is. If you don't, then you will probably just find it immature and vile. I love the show and have purchased the boxset for the first reason. I also think, whilst being simple in some places the show carries a deeper meaning under the concept of being in your face. The characters are very real and you actually do come to laugh and cry with ...

Review of Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps - Series 1-6 - Complete (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 The One Foot In The Grave - Series 1-6 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

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 ...
