Advantages: classic comedy
Disadvantages: none

Only fools and horses is the best British comedy ever made in my opinion. Based in the south London areas of Deptford and Peckham it follows the lives of Del Boy and Rodney Trotter, two wheeler dealer type businessmen who run their business trotters independent traders from the back of their three wheeled reliant robin van. The pair are always shifting dodgy goods and will do almost anything to earn a few quid. The show concentrates mainly on these ...

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: i wish the graphics were up to date

...are funny and full of Monty Python adventure goodness. graphics are are divine for the day in age it came to be, but that is not a bad thing. The actors are wonderful and the story plot will definitely keep you rolling on the floor laughing untill you cry. My personal favorite is Monty Python and the holy grail, the other movies in this box set are just as funny, but it all differs by your own personal preference. I love watching these movies over ...

Advantages: A hilariously funny film
Disadvantages: Some might still find it offensive

...first time I ever saw Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979) was when Channel 4 showed it as part of their banned season when I was at school (it would have been late 80s/early 90s). I sneaked a video tape in to the machine to record it as coming from a very Christian family I didn't want to upset anyone but I really wanted to see what all the fuss was about and if this film really did contain all the blasphemous content that had earned it a ban. Imagine ...
...Unlike their previous film Monty Python and The Holy Grail where each of the main characters has a section of the film to themselves, this film follows events and scenes which either include or directly involve Brian and it is this focus on the central character that stops this film from becoming a series of silly/funny episodes. The scenes and scenarios are beautifully crafted with the majority of the humour coming from exaggerations of everyday ... Read review

Advantages: Great performances all round
Disadvantages: None as such

Carry On Again Doctor(1969) is, in my own opinion, the funniest of the medical Carry On's. There is more structure to the plot than there was in Carry On Nurse (1958) or Carry On Doctor (1968) and the film being divided into three sections works well as there really feels as though there is a beginning, middle and end of a story. Most of the same actors that were used in Doctor (1967) crop up in this entry with some playing almost identical characters. ...
...also includes all the best Carry On gang Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims, Charles Hawtrey, Sid James (who is not introduced until at least half way through the film), Hattie Jaques, yet again reprising her familiar role of the Matron (though plays this more gently in this one in contrast to the more ferocious steretype displayed in Nurse and Doctor) and the bubbly Babara Windsor who quickly catches Jim Dales roving eye. Carry On Again Doctor on the whole ... Read review
