...below http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B000GYHU12/ref=cmcrdpallhelpful?ie=UTF8&coliid=&showViewpoints=1&colid=&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending Two Pints is an on-going, on-growing comedy sit com broadcast by the BBC (usually BBC3 these days) about the ups and downs of a group of friends living up North in Britain (Runcorn to be exact.) It follows the triumphs and deceits of the friends and captures the warmth and vulnerability of being ...
...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)

...with the untimely death of Ronnie Barker. After introducing their comedic chemistry and archaic sketches from The Two Ronnies to a new generation, and his brief re-introduction to TV, Ronnie left us to reflect and watch umpteen repeats of his work that will never bore or cease to crease our faces. Right then, enough of dwelling, you want to know what this is like. Well......... its a DVD box set!! Seriously, 12 discs of Ronnie in various series ...
...name Norman Stanley Fletcher, arguably Ronnie Barker's most famous character. I won't dwell too much here just to say it was et in Slade prision following the batle between 'them and us' with plenty of laughs on the way. My personal favourite occurs in the first episode when they receive their medicals. Remember the flasks? This set presents you with all the episodes and the Christmas specials. These specials are 40 minutes long but there are only ...

Review of Ronnie Barker - The Ultimate Ronnie Barker DVD Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

Great comedy at a great price

Advantages: So much content
Disadvantages: Boring DVD menus

...all of the wonderful eddie izzards material in an unbelievably cheap box set i couldn't believe it. If you have seen his stuff before you will know what to expect but if you have not where have you been. With some of the most original material ever, some others only dream they can make up. Bits such as Death Star Canteen have been widley parodied on the internet and with just couse. His impressions of God (as James Mason) often occur throughout the ...

Review of Eddie Izzard - MMVI - Unrepeatable/Definite Article/Glorious/Dressed To Kill/Circle/Sexie (Box Set) (DVD)

Advantages: Another chance to see a wildly successful comedy troupe...
Disadvantages: ...and that success might baffle you

...this misheard lyric may constitute the Goodies's most significant contribution to popular culture in the 1990s: an astonishing fall from grace for a comedy combo that were a bedrock of the BBC's light entertainment output in the 1970s. How did this happen? For all the while that Messrs Garden, Oddie and Brooke-Taylor languished as a trace memory for a generation, the BBC were merrily flogging the wares of most of their contemporaries on video, and ...
...as successful. What exactly had the Goodies done to deserve such ostracising? Did they kidnap and eat children as they slept? Were they responsible for Idi Amin's regime in Uganda? Was 'The Funky Gibbon' really that bad? 'Here We Come, Into Town...' The constituent parts of The Goodies fell together at Cambridge University in the mid 1960s: Tim Brooke-Taylor studying law, Graeme Garden studying medicine (hence his occasional utilisation in ...

Review of The Goodies At Last! (DVD)

Truly entertaining!

Advantages: These DVDs will keep you laughing for hours on end!
Disadvantages: None

...first invited to watch a Marx brothers film I was a bit sceptical, not being much of a fan of black and white and generally old films. However, I was seriously proven wrong. This box set contains six films: A Day at the Races, A Night in Casablanca, At the Circus, The Big Store, A Night at the Opera, and Go West. The jokes in this film certainly haven't aged and Groucho's one-liners are simply priceless, such as, "One morning I shot an elephant in ...
...know". Not only are these guys funny, they're incredibly talented too. At some point during each film there will be some kind of a reason for them to all start playing instruments. Chico plays some fantastic music despite the unusual technique he uses and Harpo manages to create a makeshift harp out of anything from a broken piano to a loom! These films are wacky and hilarious, with Groucho often posing as a man of authority despite being a complete ...
